the, the business, the w news live from biling. angry europeans farm is bring fire and fury to downtown brussels tires and tracks has blocked the streets around the european union's headquarters. what agriculture? minnesota is looking for ways to ease tensions. we'll say coming up from the program, the governments and the occupied westbank designs. the palestinian authority's prime minister announces that his entire government has quit. the move is seen as a step towards reform on the post for middle east peace. and as morton gauze, that rate is on israel mill. it treat rules that the plan to evacuate civilians

from the territories last refuge as its ground. fruits move south with through the strength, international concerns, growth of displace pico sheltering and rough on the focus of israel coming offensive. the i'm on you can just making and welcome to the program pots of central brussels that are at a standstill at this hour as farm is from across the european union up stage. the blocks me think of agriculture ministers, demonstrates, is have lots of access to official buildings, dumped toys in the streets, unsettling the lights. they're upset over brussels, environmental policies, rising costs. and what they call unset competition. you officials are picking to ease some of those pressures on the agricultural sector, but there a fee is the doing. so could we can action on climate change of the

crust right now to rosie. but child who is in brussels covering the process for us, rosie was saying some pretty intense things on the streets of, of brussels that what's going on exactly. if you want to get a sense of the fury and frustration on the streets in brussels here today, wilson police no further behind me, a smouldering burning pile of tires. and actually just in the last few minutes, you've seen farmers for testing adding more fuel to that fire, including bales of hay. and that comes just after police really managed to extinguish another major fire using walter kind of. as you can see, there is still a major police presence here in the heart of brussels. european union, of course, are not only police, but of course also tractors. basically as far as the i can see here, they have paralyzed 6th street here in brussels,

which leads up to the european commission. the easy executive is the 2nd time they've done this, this month. and farmers here are telling me they have no plan to, even though they will keep coming back until they see that their demands are met and will solve those demands. exactly. a good question because we've seen these protests across the continent, not just here in the process that report to go to poland and their demands are kind of disparate summer, really annoyed you, but the price of fuel, some are very concerned about competition. for example, agricultural imports from ukraine, one thing which unites the most is a concern about rising costs, isaac unpredictability, of the pricing of their products, and to try and get an idea of what that looks like. day to day i went to visit a farm here in belgium. take listen to my reports. 2 hours after she was born. it's time for this baby cough to try and stand on her own 2 feet. that struggle to stay afloat is one the small dairy farm in southern belgium knows well with milk

prices proving unpredictable and cost remaining high frequented to the it's difficult to get the return on your investment and have a long time perspective. uh, the southern peaks in 2022 then shocks in 2023, hebrides strangled tom. tom just quantities of some sort of farmer. oh, really look that comes on subsidies to help her keep production churning. in fact, agriculture funds make up almost a 3rd of the european union budget, but many are still feeling squeezed. what have you, we would like to be able to live without subsidies. you can just have a reasonable price is good, but that's not possible right now. for weeks, no farmers have been taking lot frustration to the streets, grinding traffic to a halt in berlin, brussels and other capitals across the continent. in response to your opinion has moved to ease some green farming rules, curb green imports from ukraine,

and show new laws to further restrict pesticides use farmers of feeling the impact of the russian war. inflation, the rising costs of energy, the rising cost of fertilizers. nevertheless, they work hard every day to produce the quality food we eat. and for this i think we owe them appreciations and things. and we to the problem is agriculture codes for more than 10 percent of your emissions. and many campaigners for your watering . don't claimant laws will set you up on the wrong track with election swimming. we see that in many countries that's found rights policies are actually instruments that are using the voice of the farmers. and it is saga t, as i'm finding solicitation, but again, probably getting involved with the legislation at he's going to a the, the main threats to funding eventually. so if we're, if we're not able to make a funding less anything result, we announce guys, uh,

we're not gonna make it after a tough winter, farmers are hoping for easier times. i don't know if you can already had a budgeting. i know to show lots to make this industry economically and environmentally sustainable. it looks like some heavy lifting. still what lies ahead as well. those kind of peaceful scenes all, not farm. no, seem really a 1000000 miles away from this very wintry day here in brussels. driving rate has certainly not kept. the farmers from the streets, as i mentioned, is not reports. you farmers are entitled to subsidies. but what we've heard complaints about is how we, those subsidies are allocated, particularly for example, from small farms. and i should say that complaints about competition. some of these farmers here want to see the end of all basically free trade deals. they say that is driving down in price the european union, but you farmers have also been on the flip side, the source of allegedly unfair competition in other parts of the world. for example,

there subsidized milk driving during prices and parts of africa in the past. so really, this is something which goes both ways, but certainly seems that despite attempts for me, officials to clear the air so far that certainly housing dissipated to the, the st here in the streets of brussels. so we know that the u. agriculture ministers are total king in brussels right now. is there a chance that the fondest amone's will be met? well, i should say, i've covered all sorts of protests over the years in brussels. i rarely seen such a quick policy response. we have cd officials coming forward with proposals, ways to try cut red tape, and we know the officials will meet with farmers today here in brussels. what i've heard from them is they feel that these attempts have not gone far enough haven't necessarily gotten in the right direction. so we'll see how far these 2 sites meet . but one thing you officials are concerned about is that it's a few months to your elections. and they certainly are worried that these farmers could perhaps take their votes to the far right of the political spectrum if they

feel their demands are not met. and then the other sites concern some climate competitors, but you officials attempts to try and respond to these very these concerns that are very clearly on display here. that that might go too far in terms of compromising on the use big claimant's promises. or as a thank you so much so that as far as the but child reporting from brussels. so now the palestinian prime minister mohammed stay, it has announced the resignation of his government, which governs parts of these ready. okay. pied westbank president and the who the boss still needs to accept the resignation, but the move could paved the way the us back for phones in the palestinian also our seats. united states wants them in charge of gauze us once the war is as positive dw is complex, that in special on the future of is randy a palestinian relations. my colleagues sarah kelly, spoke with the palestinian prime minister, stay at the munich security conference. and so you're awesome about the future of

the palestinian leadership. 90 percent of palestinians want about 90 percent 90 percent. wait a minute. what is does he need to go? does he need to go quickly? don't wait a minute possible. how can you represent the palette? say that you represent the policy and policy and people in 90 percent of you wanting to also pay and width for an answer or simply continue to okay. so wait a minute. first of all, we are very aware of the fact that we need to elections and our presidency showed up residential degree according for elections on done with the 2nd of may 2021. when is what i did not allow us to have access to each other was on it. so we would have gotten between the, how about on the how truck should we have elections without the totals of them or should we wait until the circumstances allow one. the other important issue i did like i do like the revitalization of stuff. but it's, you know, sort of the, that the president by the and spoke about. and when i google it,

i realize that it means bank life. so for us, the revitalization of the bodies are all sort of the means. one thing for me allow us to function that was the highest palestinian prime minister speaking to the w, sarah kelly at the munich security conference. and i'm joined now by john list. hasn't been lucia in the jordanian capital. a mine has them used to reports from gaza. can i ask you what is behind this resignation the resignation of the palestinian prime minister mohammed stay a well, this is a very significant and important news by the below stadium government and the below stadium to 30 in, in, in the west bank. according to the statement that made vice to you in the beginning of the cabinet when he announced there was a nation that this is because of the is we're really a time a are getting a spell listing in the people on the challenges the is faced by the policy and

goals and the boss, damian, people including the war in gauze, the, the rates in the west bank in east jerusalem and the expansion of settlements. so this is the move where the posting and i start with this think that it's important to move forward and to change the government. and is there a reason that this is happening right now to well, it's not clear yet, but um we can even, we can say the um, there are 2 bar to use the u. s. pressure to reform the lifting investor with the it could be, this is one of the most and we are that, you know, and on sales day would be talks in most co uh, between the state and factions that especially between how much in fact they're on the sponsorship of the russian government. and so that would be a,

a move or a step toward the unity among the palestinians. hasn't been to share reporting from mom. thank so much. has them. thank you. now these ready military has drawn up plans to evacuate civilians from dallas, the southern most city of rasa, the prime minister's office says these ready forces one civilians to leave what it calls areas of slicing ahead of a much anticipated ground offensive. russia is now home to more than 1400000 palestinians, most of whom have fled from combat in areas. the news, the military says israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who wants to send ground troops into russia despite concerns of even his staunchest allies. well, this is a gyptian media reporting that negotiations for an a ceasefire between israel and hamas have resumed and cuts off. i am returning now to the humanitarian situation

and rough us the gauze and city on the border with egypt. as i said, more than 1400000 palestinians all crammed together. the and already conditions are dia, hospitals are overwhelmed and even struggling to keep newborns alive. these infants are supposed to be in separate incubators, but they have to share the life stating machines at this overcrowded maternity hospital in rafa. dr. se sepsis is spreading among the babies and mortality rates are storing. in one shift, 2 or 3 children die under normal circumstances. they would be well, no, 2 deaths a month next. but now we lose children every day. when you and the only thing they are guilty of is living and goes a symbol. most newborns come from 10 cities where their families fled to escape is really bombardments. their living conditions are contributing to their poor health

. doctors here stay their efforts are in vain. the babies return to the tents after receiving treatment only to become ill. again, mothers are standing by hoping their children will be placed in an incubator for this child should be in an incubator like the one over. they are an incubator that is safe, warm, and has medicine for a child who is a few days old doctor should also be available to treat him cuz this is because of the number of children. no keeping us here so i can take care of my son instead of him being an incubator, but doesn't have donald gas as health care system is failing, as is really forces tried to eliminate come out in response to the october 7 terror attacks. the united nations has warned that a ground offensive, and rafa should have catastrophic consequences as it has been one month since the international court of justice ordered israel to prevent genocide

and goes to the i. c. j gave israel until today to submit a report showing that it is complying with 6 separate orders. the court did not find that israel was committing genocide, but nonetheless issued 6 orders. meant to make sure that the genocide does not happen. and i'm joined now by michael becca. he was an associate legal officer at the international court of justice from 2010 until 2014. now he's teaching international human rights little at tennessee college dublin. welcome to the w. thank so much for your time today. now israel's reports to the i, c. j isn't expected to be made public, but do we have any indication what might be in this report? right, you're exactly correct that these reports are confidential reports and the report will go to the court and then to south africa from south africa's response. so we may not see this any time soon as ever, but we can predict, i think, what is real?

we'll try to emphasize in the reports, but i should say at the start of the reports today, for example, the prime minister netanyahu as asked for the report to be sparse. i think that would be a big mistake phrase real because this is an opportunity for israel to try to convey to the court everything that if things that's too many to comply with, the order i would expect is real to focus mainly on what is real, sees as its best efforts to facilitate humanitarian assistance into gaza. now whether it's the way israel portrays its efforts to deliver mandatory assistance would be credible to a broader audience is a different question. but i think that that's where the emphasis will be placed, israel's report. okay, but if the report isn't made public, i mean is anything going to come of best? because surely they'll be less public pressure on israel to, to comply. you know, if we don't know what's in the report. absolutely, and that's the reason why the court should change its practices and require that these implementation reports be made public. but the cause really for south africa

here to play the role of having to come back to the court and to try to refute what you may see as israel's incomplete, or even potentially misleading a narrative about what's going on on the ground. so in some ways, i actually think it's going to be south africa's response and again, confidential report, but south africa's response rather than israel's initial report. that's more important because this is an opportunity for south africa to point out past emissions from israel's report. we've heard over the past several weeks, reports about is rarely officials in a directly impeding just that certain efforts to deliver united training systems on the there are also ways in which south africa can probably point it out to the court. other things that are within israel's power to do that for whatever reason, israel has not been doing the cost. and so this is a chance for south africa to put these things before the court for them. and it may, in fact, be the impetus for south africa now to go back to the workshop and request new provisional measures for modified professional measures and measures that would be

much more specific, much more precisely quoted. and the types of this quite prompted word. it measures that the court, even if you post a month ago, okay, now the several organizations, the you and i'm, i'm the stand to national except for the cool, cool, don't as well to comply with the i. c j's orders. um, what happens if it doesn't do anything free for you if you could or? well, we're, we're in a situation where the courts, the hours of enforcement are very limited. it's not really the courts job to enforce its own decisions. this falls on the international community. so we've already seen the fact that the professional manager last month have put enormous pressure on israel, and that pressure is coming from other countries, including some of israel's, the strongest supporters. so i think that this process simply feeds into the broader political dynamic with states, including the united states, putting pressure on israel to change its course to find a way towards a ceasefire. find a way to resolve the hostages prizes. and very importantly, find

a way to deal with the humanitarian crisis that appears to only be getting worse. michael becca from tennessee college dublin. thank you so much for your time today . we appreciate it. thank you. it's a lot via now west pool. so i the most go, all kids in the ukraine war has become a question as identity for a sizable estimate russian population. that question is becoming politically important. the government's effort to integrate them with strict tools on the use of russian language and a ban on russian media is spoken resent, and this is raising says the russia could use this content as a way into the country to use funding. petra, when to delegate pills, which has lot is biggest russian speaking population entering this room takes you back in time to the era when latvia was part of the soviet union rules from moscow . it all belongs to all that could be no. can i don't, he was born in lafayette, but he's an ethnic cross you in like a quarter of the country when lot to be

a voted to leave the soviet union and 1991. he says everyone seems united which you can use and we all wanted independence, including me. when we voted in the referendum, we weren't divided whether you were a citizen or not. you know, that was the 1st but also the last time we were united today allowed to be eyes firmly embedded in the west. a member of both the u. n. nato, but vinegar adults says liberal values have not extended to russian speakers. on this level, the democrats on the one hand freedom and democracy on the other, they started this division. it takes a lot of dealing via the push to fill them up with the step by step. so 1st they bind education in russian. everything have to be a lot for you. then came the policy of divisions was really in your portfolio. got you? there's no unity. you ginia many here in douglas, phil's would agree. most people only speak russian in their day to day lives. and

the vote for pro russian local politician, russia itself is just 120 kilometers with showing. so these are all ready to be to crane against rochelle, re present western identities. yes. some feel it's so pressure from the government in rica. see if we lose. yeah. let's go down to the people here and say that they aren't happy with the political regime, and that's that you like the russian president. then preventative and administrative measures take place in to meet up x and the other administered to you and not old ethnic russians and lots via support. the prominence policies, but decades ago, tensions between ethnic russians and that fee is have become more visible, especially in places like this. since washing invaded ukraine, left, the government has been trying to crack down on pro russian sentiment, expressing support for russia as war is a crime. and then you immigration law. now the man said the russians who do not

have left the passports must prove they speak phase, the cloud to be and if they want to stay to curb the crumbling influence, luxury has also pulled the plug on russian stage tv. no, it's discrimination. i want to watch what i want to watch. why do i have to watch lots of young channels for rush as president flooding there, putting lots vs into russian policies fits his narrative about needing to protect ethnic russians. abrupt the narrative that took him into ukraine, just able to provide for political aggression in his state per to this policy and towards people who want to live in that country. work there, that i need to create some good for that. i want treat them and they treat them in a way to take like, minor data stuff. then they themselves will face the same page like behavior within their country going assignments they can see and some east of joyce hewn up level car runs and online newspaper and douglas pills. she says pollutants message for

a lot of you should be taken seriously. mostly between we have seen how pushing and has propagandist explained the invasion of ukraine. yeah, that's in that the russians are being discriminated now that they're being offended is cute, that they're not allowed to speak. the russian language categories, next to 10, might say that russia should save russians and lots of, yeah, please don't save us on the thing all the, i say the signal i of that we are in pretends plans are signaling and it scares me flying to my e mail, these are serious things that should not be ignored. took me is a good idea to was you frame who are shines the spotlight? don't ask me questions and lots of you and where they're putting much use them as a pretext for aggression as it did in ukraine. the government here has not yet found the way back to the unity allowed to be experienced when it last made a big decision about its relationship with most co. and we can get more now from

the w's funny. if a child has solve that report for us, you joins us now from the lot been capital, where you got high, funny estimate russians make off the cost of life is population. so tell us again, why us some of them feeling such a strong sense of discrimination. exactly, that's really important to on the line that it's one quarter of the population, severe speaking, but roughly 402450000 people. he unlocked your ethnic russian, but most of these people do have a left hand passport. so that's a controversial integration law is going to potentially affect a few 1000 people. that small number have is very much enough and effective for russian propaganda to feed into the bitterness of some asked impression that you have nothing double bill. so express being allegedly treated poorly by the let me in government who asked or who asked us why now, why is it now that all of a sudden it's important to prove that you a capital to speak basic lot for you. and in order to stay in the country,

will that be a government is saying that it has nothing to do with discrimination. in fact, they want to integrate those people who do not speak, let being at a very difficult time right now. because as the war in ukraine is ongoing, these of course, also growing suspicion shooting lots via a monks, asked big lot vs when it comes to the cross you is just how many of them actually simple polluting and what does that mean overall for the security of this country that present fruits and says that russia doesn't want to expand its war to other countries, but all lot bins, genuinely concerned that russia could do that soon. a certainly ask for more close to and this time around the last year when i was here lot via for the very 1st time last year in the summer. fast forward. a few more months. february 2024. it is now, a lot of people are actually concerned that russia may gain an upper hand in ukraine and ultimately the toward the war could expand to the baltic nations also

here in las vegas, which is echoed very much by politicians who are sitting now. they need to set up a common defense line and make sure they have pro actively prepared and not being surprised if there is an attack by russia. okay, and funny, does it seem that estimate russians as a group or a drill into the russian president vladimir person? it's certainly not a homogeneous group. they are very suppose to suggest that about 27 percent of them support ukraine. but the leaves, of course, a lot of people to support put in. we don't know exactly how much, but certainly the locked in government has to work a very fine line here, making sure that these people don't feel pushed away. but the fact that they feel very much part of luck, the after all, this is the home both the asked me across you and, and to ask the class. the lafayette, it's funny such a senior international correspondent, thanks so much funny. and that is all we have time for,

so now i'm on the trip this weekend and i'll be back for the top of the hour. hope see then the

arch by the ancestors the people are celebrating the return of the belief bronze sculpture stolen during the colonial period by returning the vital piece of their history. ann coulter also comes home. but when you say that it's not enough to us next on d, w, it's a blueprint for anti semites, the world wide, the nazi propaganda feeling these images of

patriot that can still be found today in millions. so anti jewish means, and conspiracy theorist from the nazi era into the digital 8 users to point out in 45 minutes on d, w, the sometimes to show our gratitude to the highlight for every week nothing was caused about why does that mean? because now i'm leaving the new host join us for an exciting exploration and everything in between.

this is a video and audio production by d w. i hope the video will tune in the recovery, new identity. why they've returned polluted coat. full trenches is so t, africa, the in from the cold test holes that being saved from type of some in things. some unusual method, the and safe haven, a town and bangladesh provides refuge to those fleeing the effects of climate change the.
