of the, this is the views lies from ballad, sweeping migration reform of the e. u. member states agree to the type the blog system of the painstaking negotiations. they help to reduce illegal migration to the european union as the number of the asylum requests is rising stiffly. also on the program, a decision that might have implications for the us presidential elections next year, because it's bob donald's foss. donald trump, from the presidential primary pallets in colorado, it says the former president's role in the 2021 that talked on the capital makes

him on fits to cold office again. the people of come go head to the polls, but some stations in the capital failed to open war in other parts of the country also keeps people from costing the gas houses. welcome to the program. european union countries have agreed on a series of sweeping reforms to it's a solemn system of the use of negotiations. member states have agreed on new rules aiming to curb and legal migration into the block. the reform includes speedy of filtering and fitting of migrants, as well as the establishment of board of detention centers under the new rules rejected. asylum applicants would be sent back to the home sweets or country of

transit click. also a so called solidarity mechanism means that asylum seekers will be distributed more evenly among you. member states. countries that refuse to take in my friends will have to pay money to those that's do. here's what the president of european parliament for about 10 minutes sold up to say about the agreement that today is truly a. he started the 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 defined the arts and proven that you were can deliver on the issue. that matters to citizens. dw brussels correspondent rows of books as cold as more about on. so this with for means for people seeking asylum. the you,

what we've heard from you officials here really describing this as historic. and as long as i've been covering this here in brussels, it has been such a device of topic among e u. member states. so you officials claiming this is a big success. on the other hand, i've had a competitors writing to me telling they think this is a big failure on flight 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 hailey from countries which have low recognition rate. so countries seen as safer, for example, pakistan or morocco would be sent to a switzer procedure including being detained in detention centers at the border and, but also include 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 and the fact that they were caps and the number of people that could 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 reform, there would be a more equitable distribution of migrants asylum seekers across the book and those who refuse taking more microbes and asylum seekers would simply have to close up on cash. i'm 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 this for the you give us an idea of the scale of legal migration into the you or? well, we know that last year asylum applications reached the highest level since the pinks that were seen in 2015 in 2016. 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 or refugee spaces. but also means that as we 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 a problem in terms of more people arriving. and of course, there are, we should not forget. this also means people risking their lives services that people have droned or gone missing in the attempt to reach you or source just this year. so this is also 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 are saying that in fact, this reform will only serve to make in some ways the situation of the board was worse. and 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 is policy areas which required you're not them is back in the old e. u. member states this area migration, the silent policy only requires what's called a qualified majority. so most new countries representing the majority of the population. and what that means is that during 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 lea a heads here. okay, explain that rosie budget and brussels there. thank you very much, rosie. that's have a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world today. i hope said rolling for another seas find gaza as well as president osx hassle. says is country is open to another pause to allow for the release of hostages. the head of
