the european union has reached a deal to reform its migration routes. i know exactly how what it means when we say that we have finally delivered on the migration and assign them back. it's probably a the most important important legislative dean of this mandates. the planned reform include speedy or vetting or irregular arrivals. new board or detention centers for migrants less likely to be granted asylum, and sophisticated protection for people whose claims i rejected. the block also plans more even distribution of asylum seekers among member states. countries refusing to take people in we'll have to make a financial contribution. instead. catherine gulard expert and migration policy called this a doc day for europe. the people say king protection in europe will face face much

ha, sure, and restrictive regime. many of them will be in situations that are similar to what we see now on the greek islands. we've people in detention or diffract towed detention on, subject to a very poor asylum procedures. so maybe with no access to asylum procedures, a told she thinks the peck significantly undermines the ride to asylum. but brussels insist this is a breakthrough. this isn't a very important officer. to, to us citizens that have been waiting for this officer. we need to manage migration orderly. and we need to be able to do that. we have to do it together. no member states can do it alone. the u member states in parliament will still have to formally rectify the reforms and they're not going to take effect immediately. i

did have your brussels coastal and rosie birch as a bunch of gave us her assessment of the reform brussels as hailing this as a break through the your opinion. as finally agreed to overall is the silent policy after almost a decade, just to fate on division, and certainly for as long as i've been covering this migration, the silent policy has been a huge source of talk space between, between a member states. that's why the says, this is a historic day on the specials are claiming, it's not only a good deal for the but also for migrants, although that's something which refugee writes campaigners are repeating. under the reforms, so migrant, some asylum seekers would be more evenly distributed across the block. that's something which member states of the size of the you were most migrants arrive, for example, a to a spade in greece. something that they really welcome. they also welcome the fact that you countries which refused to take and where my friends would simply have to cough up on some cash if they don't want to take people it know, there is another more controversial reform is part of his plan. and under that,

migrants would be divided at the border according to how likely it is that their a silent applications would be granted. that means that those from the country seat of safer would be processed more quickly in special detention centers and refugee rates. competitors say that's essentially watering dining the right to asylum and they're especially concerned, but families with children are involved in not fun. no. overall, these reforms still need final approval from the legislatures and they're not likely to kick in for a couple of years. so there's still may be some political roadblocks ahead was the budget that to the height of how much the smell honey, it is in egypt discussing another seas 5 to allow 2 minute terry and 8 into gaza. a mazda is considered a tireless boot by several countries. israel's presidents, as his country would consider a pause in the fighting in exchange for the release of mol, hostages large scale protests south been held daily, and his val calling on the government to secure the release of the remaining $129.00 captives believe to be held in gaza, there is going into

a national pressure on israel to hold its attacks as they to many tarion situation in gaza. worse, we saw correspondence, rebecca of interest in jerusalem. if anyone sees 5 is really likely given the highest rhetoric coming from both sides in recent weeks or well, that's right. and that may be surprising because both sides was thoughtfully saying that they weren't going to come back to the negotiating table we are hearing is you just reported a problem. what's hug israel's president saying that the israel is willing and ready to come back to the negotiating table. we've seen benjamin netanyahu meet with some of the families of the hostages, and a game reiterating that it is a priority to get those hostages out that they are taking he, they are listening and that they are working as hard as they can to make moves towards that he's under immense pressure to see some of these on the hostages. but

it's the other side has been saying her must have been saying that they're not willing to come to the negotiating table. but we're also see movement on that is now honey a. the political head, kotob bass, political head of a mouse is, is reportedly going to egypt today. now, egypt katasha has always played a very big role in the negotiations. and he'll be meeting with negotiate his day and, and other people members from the egyptian team to discuss coming back to the negotiating table. we have been hearing that israel would be willing to perhaps stop, hold possibilities for up to 2 weeks to see the release of some, you know, with room and to hear about thursday, hostages. of course, all of these details of it kept very, very secret, ever very under wraps. so we've seen in the past before the last deal that, that so more than a 100 hostages released that they went up and down, up and down, they broke down and they came back to the table. it took it to a number of weeks to get

a deal. and so we could certainly saying signs in the right direction, ben, but it could be some time yet before we see a deal come to pass. the more world news or right now here, the headlines, a malaysia and this band is rarely ship some docking audits ports the band takes immediate effect in response to the conflict with how mos, most of the majority, malaysia has long supported the palestinians and does not have to for magic ties with, as well. great su, email shakes a mess all of month. also buff has been officially sworn in. the incoming ruler has criticized lawmakers and promised to review security, economic and social policies. his predecessor died after 3 years in power. lawmakers from poland, former governments have protested, attends by the new administration to make media more impartial. the entire state media management team has been sacked. they all stayed low in just as ponti was a fuse of curbing media freedom while empower the elections are on the way in the

democratic republic of congo. when more than $14000000.00 people are expected to cost the ballots. the election fits president relates to vicki against 18 challenges and was hoping to win the 2nd term and it's considered the front runner . voting has been disrupted by lacy delays in some senses. and civil conflict in the east is have been allegations of fraud violence and logistical setbacks come the leads, voters is you to cause the ballots grow in patient after hours of wasting stimulus seems a sponsored, it's super low of a seem to is across the country. we've been here since 5 am, but so far nothing has started. we don't understand. we're waiting for them. we're

not leaving until they start. moses blamed the chaos on delays and opening poles. while stations reported a lack of balance right before the election day. of say they were surprised to find the names missing from folks unless of the a. so i came very early in the morning because i wanted to know which office that was going to vote, and i looked for my name, but so far i haven't found it says, you know, but the side, the election chaos is being compounded by fighting and congress east, which has prevented 1500000 people from registering to vote there. yep. on monday is all they were quite a few people who didn't end up on the list. we the observe is can see that the organization was not good in this for speak. know then people are wondering how they're going to voters if they can't find the way around it. they also have the

right to do the jersey and booked. the official electoral commission, seed polling stations would remain open to vote. and so we're still in line by the 5 pm deadline, meaning via the vote counting will also face delays. this colorado's supreme court has disqualified with public and frontrunner donald trump from running in the states, u. s. presidential primary court rules as trump engaged in insurrection by inciting riots as who stone to us capital. in january 2021 decided he was eligible to hold office again from says here appealed to the supreme court. and most of my colleagues believe blue cross told us what the ruling could mean for legal hobby, legal owners, amateur legal nerds like me this case, regardless of the politics or one's 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 uh, a former president. and could be president again from running office, from taking your office 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 him from holding the office of the presidency again, that will now be decided or could potentially be decided at a national level by the us supreme court. if the us supreme court decides to up to take on the case as an appeal from the colorado state supreme court, or you're watching dw, and is still so calm,

a volcanic eruption has positive iceland on highlight scientists. i'm not sure how long it both continues purchasing functions of a lava height into the 1st. every year hundreds of north koreans trying to escape the offered carrion homeland is cause they faced severe punishments. and even if they managed to reach neighboring china, there must have been constant fear of being sent back. schumann writes sports as documented, more than $600.00 the potations. in recent months alone, the w. t w's investigative team got access to witness accounts and case files. when grief overwhelms, came to lee, she finds comfort and cuddling her dock. she had her to assist to survive the hiring escape from north korea to london. but the deeply worried about the younger sister, cho crusty, posted from china, back to north korea and october,

after having lived in china for 25 years. to see my sister didn't commit any crime me. 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 and brought back my nightmares to every night about our lives in north korea and about people being hanged about how we were chased to tell them in the home. like most north korean refugees bestest to escape to china and lived there without any legal documentation for protect and 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 korea. and also it is at this border bridge. nobody has heard anything from her since she found out if you want to posted

you, it means you're going to hell. so what will happen? that's how you die always. and then nobody knows if you will survive or not. if you will be beaten to death, 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 human rights violations. so china is violating its obligations under the torture convention, as well as the directtv convention is. and protocol china, the nice, the accusations, it's foreign ministry didn't respond to the use request for comment. but in the

recently to, to the u. n. china states that there is, quote, no evidence of torture. also called mess of human rights violations in north korea . but for us, human rights organizations like korea future has been piecing together picture of north korea's in some as present based on satellite images and hundreds of witness testimonies that have been able to create a model of the grim reality. the detainees have to end your they are deprived of proper food, and therefore many detainees suffer or die from longer ition and 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

was 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. ok. this is one through 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 save. this is to tell the w is investigative reports as to pheasant. as spend weeks tracing vision of korean families story, i also what the chances of the vantage came shut off being being freed. well 1st of all, um, it's impossible to say for sure. but all experts we talked to agreed that the chances of her being released are not great. the defectors are treated as traders in north korea, especially if they did not stay in china,

but wanted to make it to a 3rd country. and shut off was in fact captured when she was about to join her sister in london. so she might be treated as a political criminal. now during the cove at 19 pen makes it with no deportations. that's all from china to north korea. why did this change this, this august? well this summer or north korea reopened the board us, which were close for a 3 and a half years during college. and at that time, according to sources on the ground, the time even in the syllabus in the book. and we're actually crowded. um, that's what we heard and so try not to put a plain and simple head of practical interest. they just wanted to empty their cells. but besides that, they also have a longstanding agreement, bilateral agreement with north korea, according to which china sends back on all north koreans that do not have

a valid documents because they treat them as illegal economic migrants. and no, no green refugees have come to china. do have a legal legal documents now since august, more than 600 north korean escapees were reported from china. who are those people as well? um it's interesting along the 1st uh where we petri 8 is in august and september. there was supposed to be several persons that the research team was especially interested in getting back. and those were persons who used to work close before the origin before and who had access to sensitive information like for instance, diplomats detected or, or i to specialist hackers who used to operate on behalf of the regime. the big group that was the porters in october, however, consisted of more of regular normal persons that more or less value to the regime.

and that was the group that control off was part of. now it's considered a crime to flee north korea. what kind of punishment do deportees face back home in north korea? well, that depends on the reasons why they detected in the 1st place. if they went for economic reasons to escape poverty, they might not face the sentence as they were political prisoners who wanted to go to south korea. everyone actually is being tortured. that's what organizations gather information on from hundreds of testimonies. so everyone who's being jailed is in the cam political prison camp or labor camp, where they are being mistreated and,

and torture to the daily basis. now you also have asked both chinese on north korea and authorities for comment. what did they say as well, the chinese did not respond at all to our repeated requests, the north korean m. c. however, in, in berlin, they sent us a brief written statement and they have to quote, they call this misleading propaganda. all the accusations in connection with the different stations and they blame also quote, the united states and hostile forces. so that's something we've heard before. the w's investigative reports as the fed and the thank you very much as the the someone who is headlines for you little more because in front of those is to adopt districts, new immigration laws. the legislation cracks down on the legal immigration and reduced as well fed payments for finance. it's unclear if president the call will

allow it to become low or submit the bill to a new reading service. who's doing a doctor's in england task on a 3 day stride, cobra pay more industrial action is expected in early january. it's off of the long running bottle to secure a 35 percent pay rise. experts of wanting the british health system is already wrapping with a search and with the illnesses rescue is searching for any more survivors alternate with quick. in north west china, at least a 130 people, were killed and hundreds more injured, local media, se tens of thousands of homes with damaged or destroyed. so it is an iceland warning sites see us to keep away from an erupting volcano. thousands of local residents have already been evacuated, but some people are still trying to get up close, putting themselves an emergency crews at risk. gosh, and fountains of lava, this volcano, on the rate can,

is spinning and so has been erupt. and since late monday, their option is slowly losing steam by the situation. he is still dramatic and potentially dangerous scientist save me 2 days, weeks, or even months. tim stops. it says slowly getting more quiet, but the more or less the long time way plus the short time. who knows? but the it's, it's just in time for christmas and hopefully it will just stay like this or stuff because they screwed the effects of infrastructure. so hopefully it will look through the nearly full thousands residents evacuated from the nearby town of greens of it share those hopes, but some a still excited to see nature put on a spectacular. so coming today are getting the chance to be behind sidney. go ahead to being so close to being able to fly the drone like literally 10 meters away. is amazing. phoenix,

the volcano doesn't pose any immediate danger to the population, but scientists, phones that it could change. if the option continues for too long, it could potentially affect air quality with views being able to reach iceland scott the direction is good. also pulls the threat to property. if level flows far enough to reach residential areas and go full, is it for song? as i journalist base in iceland capital re cubic and early i'm he told us about the warning systems for the country that has been nicknamed the land of fire in ice. we have of course, a very valid, candidly active islands. iceland is basically the result of those kind of corruptions through tens of thousands of years. and that much we have known for quite a while all around the iceland, where we expect these things to happen. there are uh gadgets i thought of measuring anything from dpi, as movements to whatever may be coming out of the years in terms of website gases.

we also have more satellites that monitor what is happening down below even. and of course, the teams of the very smart scientists to tell us what to make of that data yet, even done in this area, we haven't had the rug. some of the great tenants put us a little for a 20 years in this particular data. when we have the trucks and though in send you hook you up, if you need to, something to try to pronounce that. we haven't had this happen for 2000 years. so we don't have a lot of modern data to work with that could help us. so that is sort of the tricky part really to make to, to, to know what to make of the data when you don't really have president. don't know what the data is. i'm just telling you to some extent and before we go, it's already got security cameras, high walls, and on god's no a prison in brazil as beefed up security by enlisting the services of some very

unlucky animals. a gaggle of dease is and now trolling the perimeter of this prison. the story i know for this in the southern states have sent a couple of re not animals trying to face bolts, any jail boats trying to scale the was stuff, say they like us like got animals and a more vigilant then dogs you're watching dw, and you see, as a reminder, for a top stories, the opinion has a great sweeping reforms to its a solemn system. off the years of negotiations, member states reach the deal on new romans to the curb, illegal immigration other a growing calls for a whole to the fighting in jobs of israel's president has suggested his country could be open to another seas 5. but only in exchange for how mos releasing.
