the, the, this is dw news line from valid sweeping migration reform in the e u member space agreed to type the blogs, the system of the painstaking negotiation. they hope to reduce illegal migration to the european union as the number of the asylum request is rising, slipping the plight of dissidents who manage to flee north korea. they tell us about the fears they have full family members still that the grim realities of being behind falls in north korea, china as willingness to send refugees by a cold foss. donald trump,

from the presidential primary ballot in colorado, says before the president's role in the spence, expensive on the attack on the capital, makes it unfit to hold office again. the people have come, go head to the polls, but some stations in the capital failed to open war and other parts of the country . it also keeps people from costing that that the guy that is welcome to the program. still in union. countries have agreed on a series of sweeping reforms to it's a solemn system. off the years of negotiations and the states have agreed on new rules. i mean to cut a legal migration to the blog. the reform include speedy of filtering and vesting of migrants as well as the establishment of buddha detention centers under the new

rules rejected. asylum applicants would be sent back to their home country or country of trends. that's quick. also a so called solidarity mechanism means that asylum seekers will be distributed more easily among new member states. countries that refuse to taking migrants will have to pay money to those that's due on the as well, the president of the european parliament, rebecca, minnesota. i have to say about the agreement that today is to leave a historic day. i am surrounded by colleagues who have not slept all days and nights. my colleagues have managed to find the balance between solidarity and responsibility across old files. it was not easy, but it only makes this achievement even more importance. we have defied deal. it's and proven that you were kind of deliver on the issue that matters to citizens to

the process goes on and what was brought to is covering this story for us. what was the, what does this before now? mean for people who seek asylum in the u. or what we've heard from you officials here really describing this as historic and as long as i've been covering this year in brussels, it has been such a device as topic among e u. member states. so you officials claiming this is a big success. on the other hand, i've had a campaign or is writing to me telling they think this is a big failure. i'm fine because the most controversial part of this reform is about separating migraines when they arrive, according to how likely they are to be granted asylum. so those come haley from countries which have low recognition rates. so country seat is safer, for example, pakistan or morocco would be sent to a switzer procedure including being detained in detention centers at the border. and that also includes controversially children who are with families. and that is something that campaigners are really speaking out against. and i asked the

officials of like, based in a press conference and they pointed instead to the options to seek legal advice on the fact that they were caps and the number of people that can be processed through they speak to your message. there's also a big over form going underway, which is about how migrants and asylum seekers are distributed across this your opinion. because of course, most people arrive to coastal border countries like greece, like a sweet and like spain. but that means that those countries have been asking for more help on what they would call solidarity from other you never states are under this the reform there would be a more equitable distribution of migrant. some asylum seekers across the book and those who refuse taking more microbes and asylum seekers would simply have to close up on cash and not something which is also important for germany because although geographically it's not one of the key countries of 1st arrival, it is the country which has the highest number of asylum applications in the home. big of a problem is these for the you give us an idea of the scale of a legal migration into the you as well. we know that last year asylum applications

reached the highest level since the peaks that were seen in 20152016 arrived. and thanks to the full of the war in syria. no, that means that it's not only been rising numbers of people arriving to in your opinion, shores to seek safety in many cases. although of course, not all of those applying here, in fact, are considered to be people that need or granted shelter a refugee spaces. but also means that it's been moving up the political agenda here in europe, and it's something which we know is important to lots of voters and something which is policy makers are trying to prove that they can in fact deliver on. so we're having a scale of the problem in terms of more people arriving. and of course their hard, we should not forget. this also means people risking their lives services if people have grown or gone missing in the attempt to reach your source just this year. so buses over something, policy makers say they're trying to address, they say you official say this will help us. but of course campaigners on the other hand to say in fact this reform will only serve to make in some ways the situation

of the porters worse. now that you mentioned earlier that there was some disco, the country such as hungry have always refused to take in migraines, all pay money to other countries. how did they come on board? well, they simply didn't come on board. that's because, unlike in some, if policy areas which required unanimous backing of all e u. member states this area migration, the silent policy only requires what's called a qualified majority. so most in your country is representing a majority of the population. and what that means is that down the road recruiting dc hungry, for example, simply refusing to implement this reform and ending up ending taking the court by the european commission. we have seen that happen in the past. so that's just one idea of the kind of political roadblocks which may late had here. okay, exponent rosie budget and brussels there. thank you very much, rosie and here's a look at a few more news headlines in hopes of calling for another seaside. garza as well

as presidents is isaac, have sold. it says his country is open to another pause to allow for the release of hostages. the head of hamas east midland, he met with ron's foreign minister before leaving for egypt. these reports leave that to discuss the possibility of another seas 5 malaysia and has band is riley ships. and any vessels on the way to as well from docking added support. the government says the band takes immediate effect. that is the response to israel's conduct and it's conflict with some us. the majority muslim country has gone support is published and people and does not have diplomatic ties with these well. every year, hundreds of north koreans try to escape that country. if course they face severe punishment. and even if they succeed and reach neighboring china thousands of north korea, that's k p's live in constant fear of the board. taishan as communist china is

north. korea's closest lot and has committed to sending them back human rights, which has now documented more than 600 subs deportation since august alone. w w, as investigative team got access to witness accounts and case files when grief overwhelms, came to leave. she finds comforts and cuddling her duck. she had her to assist to survive the hiring escape from north korea to london. but the deeply worried about the youngest sister, total cost deported from china back to north korea and october. after having lived in china for 25 years, you, my sister didn't commit any crime you her only crime is that she was born in north korea. under that as soon as she was arrested, i have constantly had nightmares. who may have repressed, brought back my nightmares to every night about our lives in north korea. the

people being hanged about how we were chased to tell them in the like most north korean refugees that assist to escape to china and lived there without any legal documentation for protecting she was married of to a chinese man. finally, with the support of assist us, we tried to leave china, but the police arrested and placed a hand to to over to north korean. oh, so it is a police board, a bridge. nobody has heard anything from her since he thought it was a kind of god. if you want to quoted you, it means you're going to hell. so what do i give you? that's how you die always. and then nobody knows if you will survive or not. if you will be beaten to death, what would starve to death or shot to death as if it would see? no inquiry indeed to accumulate. when it has made it clear that he can see this, anyone who tries to escape the country,

a traitor and criminal who must be punished. human rights organizations have called on china to stop the indiscriminate deportations. there is a very high chance of north korean escapees. when they're sent back to their home country, they will face torture and other serious. you're nice violations. so china is violating its obligations under the torture convention, as well as the directtv convention is and protocol sign. that'd be nice to be anxious. ations. it's foreign ministry didn't respond to w's request for comment. but in a recent to, to the you and china states that there is, quote, no evidence of torture. also call a mess of human rights violations in north korea. but for us human rights organizations like re, a few to has been piecing together picture full of crew. yes,

in some is prison based on satellite images and hundreds of witness testimonies that has been able to create a model of the grim reality. the detainees have to end your your product of proper food, and therefore many detainees suffer or die from longer ition. they experience position on torture. physical meetings in the abbreviation of food and sleep like in london, came to lee is in constant contact with human rights organizations. she even went to new york to share her sister's story. she's no longer afraid of speaking out. look at this. i can't hide forever. the only thing if something's bad, you have to name it. if something's bad, you have to say it's bad. this just as one to listen. they are hoping for an international outcry against deportations from china to

north korea. well aware that it might be too late to safe. this is to tell i'm telling me now from neighboring south careers eastern. he's auction, who we just saw in that report is a legal analyst with a transitional, just as working group and the supporting the family off the vanished came show off . now during the cold with 19 pandemic that when know deportations from china to north korea. why that this suddenly restarts in august this year. so north korea was actually one of the 1st countries in the world since january 2022, talk down it's borders, went the penn date. it 1st broke out. and uh, it was also the, one of the last countries after china to finally reopen his borders. and during those 2 to 3 years of time, uh, basically, uh, hundreds or thousands of, uh,

north korean detainees have been basically, uh, accumulating on the chinese side. because uh, the sprinkler would not accept them, but now they finally uh, re signing the process. now since august, more than 600 north korean escapees where they ported from china, do we know uh who they are. uh so we the north korean government and the chinese government have not released any public announcements. they have not even acknowledged this uh, transfer that taking place. but we uh know from our sources that many of these north korean escapees have uh, very diverse backgrounds. and uh it includes mis uh, controlled oaks. uh who, who has been actually living in china for uh 25 years of being married into attorneys family and uh we were obviously, this is not the 1st of these uh,

uh, removals but it is 10. but still, we were uh, taking it back by the fact that the chinese government was 50 to send back to us in so well established book in netscape as well. so how does kim chuck fits into this picture? so unfortunately, she's like, i say, she's not the 1st and she's not the last of these, the victims of china as the policy of force repatriation. and uh, as i said earlier, the past 23 years as actually being the exception to the rule. that is, a chinese government has been that has, as has added rather a consistent policy of sending back north korea and refugees since the 1990s. despite its international obligations under the repeat convention and the torture convention. and it was only during the so the face of contagious diseases such as

stars virus in the past. and more recently of the october 19th where the north spring government actually refused to accept the north landscape piece. those are the only times that we have that breaks and can shut off unfortunately, fits into this pattern. oh, last i was pattern of the being a victim of china is full and the end you mean policy is in he's in the thank you very much. thank you and a decision that could disrupt the us presidential election, colorado's supreme court posit disqualified with public confront on a donald trump from running the states presidential primaries in a 4 to 3 routing. the quotes said from engaged in insurrection by inciting riots. us who stole the us capital in january 2021. it was, he was eligible to hold office again from says you see the review of the decision

from the us supreme court in washington dw report of william blue cross follows the story and joins has no william. what does this really mean? a well got hired for legal hobby, legal, or the amateur legal nerds like me this case, regardless of the politics are ones, political position is fascinating. it is unprecedented. of course, all of these decisions that we're going to be seeing coming out are unprecedented because the united states has never come this close to prosecuting or in some way banning a former president. and could be president again from running officer, take the officer and for holding them to this level of account. so we've never seen this before. we don't know where it's going in. the united states is very heavily based on precedent on legal decisions from the past. but there aren't any here. so this colorado decision that says donald trump engaged in this direction and

therefore violated the 14th amendment of the us constitution. bars came from holding the office of the presidency. again, that will now be decided or could potentially be decided at a national level as far by the us supreme court. if the us supreme court decides to up to take on the cases as an appeal from the colorado state to me, the report thing. but how likely is it that the us supreme court will agree with this building? so that is, of course, even i think the legal and the best constitutional scholars in the world wouldn't put their money on. right now. the unlike in colorado, which is that has the lead democratic state and the judges on the bench there are, we're all put there by democrats. other of the us supreme court is heavily leading conservative and put that are by conservative or republican presidents, including donald trump, himself. one quick note about the colorado case though, although the case was brought by a liberal and binding associated group, the plaintiffs themselves were republicans or affiliated voters. that's an

important point to make. nonetheless, the u. s. supreme court, it seems, at least we'll have to take on this case because it is just a, such a national import. of course, they don't have to, but it seems unlikely that they can just simply ignore it. nonetheless, we really are in uncharted territory. and now william, this is not the only legal trouble that donald trump has. what else could prevent him from running and next year's presidential election? well, there are a number of cases like this that we've seen a colorado in other states in the us trying to bar him from being on the ballot so far. they and the other of these other states, these other court systems, they haven't been successful, largely protected calendar reasons, not for any legal reasons. judges have said that either don't have the jurisdiction to rule on this or very technical find differences such as is the us presidency, the office that is considered in this part of the us constitution. it gets very

nitty gritty, very technical. and that's what these case get. and john, we know that donald trump faces a number of legal challenges that are very threatening to him. the question is, will it be enough to bar him from surfing as president, even if he's convicted of a crime? these are all separate cases, and they are not that necessarily mutually exclusive. it's a highly complex situation unfolding all across the united states at state and federal level. and we just have to wait over the next few months to see how things unfold. steve, this is william blue cross the thank you very much for both of us on the way for presidential legislative elections in congo. but election officials are facing logistical and security problems. voters in the capital control some forced one pulling station to open. after voting was the late fellow's papers and voting lists have been reported missing as of election day. conflict in the countries east has overshadowed the election as well with millions of people,

the displaced and the rock and sunset. the electoral process will be transparent to www. and us gathering reports president felix cheese, a katie wearing white is running for re election. you won the 2018 election, which was marked by violence. and the observer said there was massive fraud even so it was considered condos 1st democratic transition of power cheese acadias, promising his supporters investment in education and jobs. and to stop the war in the east. he's leading in the polls, but some say he's taken advantage of his position locally. i think the candle uh um, the practice of hanging up pictures of the presidents on public buildings or installing banners before the official started the campaign period to go. i think to get to that this shouldn't be praised as an advantage,

the soft violations of the law. so that should be denounced as they bring the political game out of balance. and these are even the policy the opposition is divided margin by you as it was the strongest challenger. and the last election a businessman maurice, the cartoon b is popular in the mining region of good tonga, where he was once the governor and dennis real quick, a doctor and nobel peace laureate, made international headlines when he declared his candidacy. human rights activist boston maqueta says he had hoped that civic space would open up under to use a katie. but he says the current situation is mixed up. pay no. yeah, welcome to the school, the n a o c. and to hear about lots of cases of hate speech and intolerance by the

supporters of certain political parties. the government, the to be sure was obvious to the idea on the, the presidential candidates, so travel to certain provinces, but people threw stones at them. the keel it d uh either man, uh, live pd or i should say the da then where attempt to prevent an income from holding me to contact the vendor list on patient that didn't have the meeting. with p. rhodes, just organizing the vote is a major logistical challenge. life for most people in the country remains and struggles with restoration and insecurity are running high w 2 and i was getting filed that report and he joins us now from the upholding station. in contrast, that was, is this vote now likely to be fat of us? can you hear us of think we're having
