9:02 am
she has all our shelter is due to address the german parliament and just a few moments will be carrying his speech. live our chief political editor, make it a clip. the is standing by down there, the bonus talked mikaela what to expect to hear from trans specials today. while he is expected to speak on the upcoming european union, the summit, but of course there will be the expectation that he reports on his visits to israel . also to egypt at well after what i felt was there and to bite and was in israel. and we expect some aids to be able to get into cause a fairly soon. that's certainly what is present else as he has announced that he will open both of our fast crossing both to a going in and to for nationals coming out of a gaza and and but the main focus see, it will be on the european union. the steps ahead, the you itself has major challenges that ranges from
9:03 am
a common energy markets to also finding a common voice on the conflict between israel and thomas. at this moment in time, particularly overshadowed by this attack on the hospital, where israel says it has evidence that this came from within how mazda territory itself and the entire world out on the streets of the us present, to avoid and being snuffed. and over that very attack and israel being claimed, and now we're just listening into what's happening in the department. and we do expect the german towns to order shelves to step up to the microphone and he's on that. now. tell us just briefly, if you can me kind of of, of how german parliamentarians there in the bonus tag had been reacting to the events unfolding in the middle aged as well. there is an broad consensus here in germany of solidarity with israel. and there is the concept of stotts whose own
9:04 am
that is something that was 1st announced to pledge by for much i'm in town, so i'm glad. okay, so i went to the show approach and beams the photo. so we're going to get across straight over. thank you. and here we go. even really going to college speaker, ladies and gentlemen, members of parliament, ladies and gentlemen. yesterday afternoon, i returned from germany a trip to eden egypt and israel. and it was the trip right into the heart of one of the most serious crises that the middle east has experienced in recent times. and it was very important for me to part some hostile underscore. indeed, during my presence in israel, what has also really been on the top most of our minds in the last week in these difficult times. oh, ours place because at the side of as well. somebody like
9:05 am
this trip and my conversations this amongst others with the to me and you think of jordan with the a mirror of guitar and with the president of egypt. i used it in order to speak out in favor of keeping this conflict limited in the region. a white a conflagration would be devastating for the entire region and we all agree on that . and therefore, it is also dependent upon the fact that we do everything to avoid a wider escalation, that there are no new steps and levels of escalations or an opening up of a confrontation in the north of the as well. and therefore, i read to write what i've already said there should know the entering of hezbollah, ron, or other proxies in this war. it would be a grave mistake. it depends . it does. and i'm also say listen, can you give me just a few of the content?
9:06 am
very true and continued content also about the fact that the conversations that i had with the is really president with the present the agent and also with the new members of these really government. that all of this has some tribute to, to, to a better of mutual understanding about those but deepening also of the standing of what has to be done, but also to really delineate the steps that have to be taken. one of these tests that we all have to take upon ourselves is to make sure that the hostages all liberated without any preconditions and therefore means it was very important for me to also speak to this not relatives of the hostages until of the school. it was really incredibly difficult also to listen to all the pain and the difficulties that these have to
9:07 am
members of the families and friends have experience, but it is really something i really need because you really sense their anguish and their fear. and therefore, for those fondest how many who also preach against the terra and for sleep, many of those were at, were actually abducted were also those who spoke up against the, against the vision and for a mutual understanding between israel and palestinians. and that also has to be stressed we'll just get a hold him who might need to have the results about humanitarian aid of as for the citizens involved, because they are also victims. and they are also hostages of mazda. they're not just used as a shield to protect them in this conflict. as a kind of human shields. you cannot describe it is anything else. they actually practically have a stage to pool and are therefore also completely at the mercy of the chair of
9:08 am
homeless. his speech indefinitely is very, very important that we find ways to provide humanitarian health. i talked to the israeli government with the king of jordan with the president of egypt. and altogether we tried to explore ways to make it possible. the american president, these are far, wasn't as real and also talked about this point and i have the impression that it could be possible despite all the difficulties to find a way so that the most needed good. the central can be delivered to god because this is also part of the picture because we need to be very clear also that israel has every right to defend itself. but we also are very clear in our conversations with our friends and as well that humanitarian aid is also part of the picture and is well together with as well. we will do everything to make this possible.
9:09 am
it is very clear here. let me fix that. we must not look away in our own country. anti semitism has no place in germany and we will do our utmost to oppose anti semitism. we will do so as citizens, as those who are also difficulty in thoughts on carrying responsibility. but also when it comes to implementing the law, we must not allow, for example of the meetings and assemblies were ada semitism. and with the and to submit take the statements can made, can be made. all of that cannot be accepted here. and we need to draw a clear line here, and we need to stand together in germany. we also talked about these for the issues in europe as a man, see on the work conferences, there was
9:10 am
a joint declaration of the european consul at the weekend. and yesterday, it was the case that we faced the situation tip top me to access the day before yesterday, where we debated amongst each other. i was able to dial in to the meeting of the european council from television, and it was very clear the statement that we sent united at the side of israel. we will continue to do so. and we will continue to debate about this by the, at the european council level. i'm also very touched by the fact that the, the, of the offer is rarely the president has found clear words about this word. this is the more and the victims because this is, and this is very important because it's also have a clear voice to be speaking to those who are exposed to violence coming from outside and who need to be supported. but i'm also really outraged at
9:11 am
the fact that the russian president is guarding against the fact that there might be civilian victims of this war. i think this is really cynical and it goes without saying really that it is simple. the it's been just a little piece of about the position, but i think within the european council we will be debating about our further steps, how we can support your brain. and then certainly also be about how we can do the necessary things in order to face this winter. we are also setting up a winter package and tutoring, numerous aspects involving everything. also, that is important for air defense. and we make sure in making sure also that the additional patriot unit will be delivered,
9:12 am
new get part and munitions and ordinance are delivered. all of that is part and parcel of it in order to ensure that you pray and can defend itself against these terrible missile attacks its attacks against the infrastructure of the civil infrastructure of ukraine. we will not lit up in our efforts to support them and open the dispute and in europe we will also have to be paid about the finance financial help and for the budget of your brain. and this one topics interesting for done. so i'm talking about the medium term financial framework. i'm still of these and we have a very clear position. this help for ukraine, for the financial stability of the country has to be guaranteed by europeans jointly. and it is even more important to all the more important that we debate about to obviously that's not,
9:13 am
it's not just about how much money all the additional fraud problems in europe require. but it is also important to really think about solving the issues. and that is why, and that is what we in germany stand for when we will also be talking about the questions about the future of europe. and i'd like to briefly touch upon that now mind that because it will be coming to the topic on the european council meeting. how can we in fries competed to the t to be too expensive of the european industry . and we will lead to a lot of activities in that sense. and for the european commission, i'm very pleased about this is presenting proposals to reduce red tape. and i will do my utmost to make sure that this is not just a lip service, but that it will really become you repeating legislation. and i'm encouraged by the fact that we have supported by our french friends and handbook at the franco german summit. we spoke that explicitly also about the reduction of your office in europe,
9:14 am
and this will be a joint project of france and germany and hopefully beyond that of the entire year with the union because we haven't yet finished all of the projects that we are looking at and it also was not come to me on regarding the crises that we have faced for the dependent makes and grown up. and that makes them then, the impression of russia again to print its very important that the, the subsidy reforms that we wish to implement are really implemented and makes sense. and if you come a tool for the future, and therefore i am also the speaking of in brussels, in favor of extending these tools until 2027 believe site ending in 5 years of experience. easy we're experiencing,
9:15 am
challenging times i already spoke about was the russian war of aggression against ukraine on the war that from us triggered with organs. this was a terrible terrorist attack, escaped and the lawyer feeling the naming disney citizens and as well. but there are other challenges as well. and one of the major challenges that we're facing is dealing with irregular migration and the get shots, the large number of people who are seeking shelter in europe, some of whom actually receive shelton, europe because they also fulfill the norms and standards and rules that we've set up, but there are many, many more who do not comply or who do not actually fulfill these rules. and therefore, it's important to make sure that, and at every level we do the us most in order to ensure that irregular migration can, to europe in germany is limited. that we just have to control and manage this up to
9:16 am
as a group of states. and that we maintain the control instead of losing it. i knew there was no kind of, it's just one of the ultimate the hall challenges is really possible to protect the external borders of the european union. and we will support those states that are too forgiving on that is out of boundary. and we will make sure that you're a p and institutions also contribute smoke and we will give them the legal tools that they need in order to do so. and one of the great reforms that is now becoming reality is the reform of the joint european asylum system. and at this point, i would like to state that this reform that during many, many years was stagnant, was not managed, was not made reality. this reform is now become reality. why is that? because it is being,
9:17 am
it was possible also through the passionate commitment of our administer for interiors affairs to get the ball rolling. and to make this project reality. we have a large parliamentary group with many former interior administrators and they certainly tried but failed. so now finally things are coming together. so it's the 1st time in many, many use that it has really become possible for the ministers of interior in europe to come up with a decision on all aspects linked to that. and we can call them and rest assured that in negotiations and problem, and we will also be able to achieve an agreement and i will state very clearly what does that state here. this is a european solidarity mechanism where the countries of secondary that are
9:18 am
living secondary migration, us with us. yeah. germany, the scandinavian countries and many other countries are actually experiencing that . many of those who are showing up at our borders are actually where have actually traveled. so many other countries without being registered, that was the reality and this is being changed with this agreement and the tools linked to this, everybody has to be registered in their country. the 1st arrival and this is a great step forward that is clearly in our interest a link to that. this is an open possibility of the doctors and also some them to have a solid guarantee exchange because that is necessary if everybody's registered visor and does that. we can also, these kids send people that are in accordance with the dublin rules cannot stay
9:19 am
here and we can improve that. that's for what it is also to use that for those who have no great prospect of staying. who's getting some ad that who is a psych substance abuse for asylum have been dealt with z at 4 will be d as an adult with ads the borders itself themselves and all of that is already being in finding this package and i'm very confident that we will progress on this path. ladies and gentlemen, to see the openness procedure. we also here in the, let's move that need to be, don't know yet inside. don't give shots, make sure that we do not close our eyes towards the situation. and that is why we've closed, and we've actually controlled, sorry, the minds on the board, us to our feelings and neighbors such as austria, switzerland, and poland. and we've done so impulsive operation with police forces of our neighboring countries. and that has been very, very effective. but also in germany, we need to strengthen these controls and we will, he's in the park,
9:20 am
mobilize more police units in order to do so. and this is something that we want to do. and we will notify the european union about this. the protection of german borders is a task that this government takes seriously sees and will follow through with and regarding the other points that we are determined to implement is the acceleration of migration and asylum mentioned in the processes here in this country. and that is why the spring agreement that we came to about with the federal states has to be implemented and will for the 3rd further end. it includes the large repatriation package that we are setting up and that we will be putting before the parliament ends can be decided before the end of the year. it will allow us to identify people more easily. it will allow us to rep patrick people closer to
9:21 am
more rapidly. it will allow us also to process people much more quickly. all of those are measures that are necessary as a community on this. also, he's in order to dump him down on people smuggling and organized crime in this respect. so all of that is part and parcel of what we intend to do. and we also want to achieve that administration processes are accelerated, that that is not the case. that is no longer the case, such as is today and we're run them, collect tonight that if somebody provides a or it submits a complaint against the they're a asylum in mind, the additional a visa determination or the decision on the asylum staff just that they can then complain that it takes 3 to 4 months until it is actually deliberated. so the application for asylum and the decision are to be taken at once in the primary
9:22 am
process. and that is what we have decided together with the federal states, and it will accelerate all of the processes that we're engaged. and this includes a load on gilligan's defined in the old paste on your own statement. i'd say, well, it's all. yeah. and georgia, georgia is that are feeling yeah. also candidates will become members of the opinion or to be this is determined as inspection is safe for countries of origin. this is, yeah, it's something that we have decided. this is something also that we get in the bonus talk and in the federal building. it's called have also agreed upon. and this also includes that we will have a majority also in the book describes in the 2nd chamber. and this is an important step that we have taken now after used because these are safe countries of origin and the must not be any like location when people from these countries come to europe and union all things in about make up soon. so the most important thing that
9:23 am
we need for the future is migration agreement states, sophia, and that is the decisive difference here. these are the everything that has been done in the past couple of years in many countries. there are politicians who must look on my well, i'll try to look to put themselves forward by claiming that they can lead patrick people into the countries where they come from. and even in those cases, we see that there's an increase in migration in their country because they are not able to set up a good line of communication to those countries of origin. and therefore those migration partnerships. so what we need in order to ensure that we don't just have the statements of repatriation, but that we make sure that those people are actually repatriated and brought back to the countries from where they have come. because now we have something to offer because with the changes that we have with our labor migration opportunities. when
9:24 am
we say that we are opening direly necessary, not search the pathway for talents and skilled labor to come to germany till now we need them so that our industries and our economy continue to grow and we make up the same tame. and we make sure at the same time sure that those people are, we've had created that have to be with patrick as quickly as possible. and we are negotiating with many governments the come in a 100 truck rough or to are on this for the federal government. has already been provided to the 1st step and con and conclusions with the 6 different countries. there's a huge interest also for this program. and there's also a willingness on both parts to come to an agreement with us. and that is a huge step forward. and it wouldn't be a huge change, and i have to add this that i have asked to german diplomats and german ministers engage in conversations with our counterparts abroad. that they always touch upon
9:25 am
this topic. and that they make sure that those are to be patrick. that are really been taken back by their countries of origin. ladies and gentlemen, many citizens complained and in the mind and many representatives size municipalities and mayor is telling me sign this is that is just can't be the case that i'm on the one hand side, there is a huge demand for labor and then those, well then there are not allowed or for the, the opportunity to work. and therefore we will adopt measures to make the d that's possible we will. and so we will further and broaden the possibilities for those were already present in our country to work to do. and we will try and reduce the red tape on that and make sure that it also happens. we will start to inoffensive, so to speak, with an initiative, so as to make sure that you, craney and citizens who are here and who have engaged in the language courses the about 10 speed to leave, etc, to the labor market. then we will,
9:26 am
it will make our utmost to make sure that whatever the municipalities wish to undertaken this sense of support that i really welcome the fact that if there is a labor offer it to me locally. and i also support the fact that if you move to cut the state, it's cuz it's from you that if certain services are offered so that this is enshrined in law. and i would all, i also support the federal states if they want to. this develops type us a joint payment card is 50 in order to facilitate things and all of that is part and parcel of our project. and this will certainly also lead to a concrete support on the part of the federal government for those who wish to push the envelope. and at this point of view, i would like to stress that we need to cooperate with us. and if i was very, very pleased about this conversation that i had with the, to the speakers of the minister,
9:27 am
a conference and mr. violet and mr. mounts that i think it is a topic where we can have objective conversations involving both government and the opposition. we can carry that also into the federal states and municipalities. and i have the impression that there is a new willingness to cooperate here. and i would like to express my gratitude for that. the book finally about the citizens. yeah. button. the school expecting humanity in order to expect our levels of government to insure this and we will continue to ensure this, this task has to be solved. we can solve it. and we can implement this with a very clear position without any resentment. and that is what the citizens expect from us, and the federal government will do its parts in order to ensure this. thank you very much. and you've been watching lot of coverage of transfer german transfer all
9:28 am
of filters, speech to the abundance talked to the german parliament ahead of an e u summit coming up. we also he talked of course about what's going to be discussed at the you summit. but he also related what transpired during his visit to israel and egypt, the transfer just returned from their me that met with the leaders of both israel and egypt. and he, uh, he talked a deliberate of wide ranging speech recounting his talks there in the middle east, but also what's coming up on the european agenda. he addressed israel's a confrontation with the homeless, militant, saying that jeremy's place is it is real side he wore. and has below and it ran to stay out of the conflict and that his main priority is to contain that conflict. he also drew attention to the need to supply humanitarian aid to gaza, or correspond it, make it a cliff. now a chief political editor is down at the bonus to august following the chancellor
9:29 am
speech joins us now. became a uh, what struck you about the chancellor speech a. well use the head of an e u summit. he maps out what's on the to do list and it today we got some report from it to them and actually european perspective all the big challenges of our time with the exception of climate change that wasn't mentioned. but these are the big conflicts. and what struck me is that an after once again pledging that germany is at the side of israel in these times of need at that humanitarian access and assistance to the palestinians was a key focus. this something he stressed that he had raised, but also us present joe biden had raised with israel. and so that is something that also got quite a bit of applause here in parliament. and he also mentioned ukraine, and he basically went through the list, for instance, is a, an additional patriot system that germany will be supplying. that was also previously announced of the support for ukraine,
9:30 am
basically saying that that must not be affected by this new crisis. but also now looking at the european union that usually does have to re prioritize where they will be spending the money because the funding will simply not be enough. and i think this is a very interesting challenge that he is taking a to the european union and also a german position that he's expected to push very strongly. it was a wide ranging speech, a whole lot packed into this, dealing with a bench on folding and in the middle east at the top of everyone's minds at the moment. but again, your opinion is there, the war in ukraine is still happening. and so he touched on everything dealing with that, but looking specifically at what's happening in the middle east right now. me, kayla the, the chancellor. try to balance the germany's commitment to help.
