on the over last week's classes hasn't died down. and that was when people took to the streets of a president, routes those plans to raise taxes. since drop those plans with the po for dialogue with the protest, the site, they don't want the tool they want router out. i'm feel go invalid, and this is the day the and now who just should know that we have firing him. he has shown us that he is being company sense the do we want people to do it? because yeah, the problem is, is that is not dividing the people or they want to sit on those things. go to a couple of these money, really much money re up to a human being. and if he's willing to spill our blood,

we're willing to stand up to him. he's up the book is people don't need the mean that's to also on the day hungry has been forging close the times with china and closing up to the kremlin as it takes over the presidency of a european union and many or ask a what direction would it take, i have seen the hungry that are in government on death level, has an obviously a very constructive behavior over the past years. and they do not see a reason why the behavior will change or issues that the home during government considers sounds that they for it. so welcome to the day and the protest is every time 2 cities across canada with demonstrates as demanding the present when a router step down. please try to detect the crowds with tear gas and was

a cabinet and by closing key highways and most of the young protest has continued to agitate against the present. despite his decision to withdrawal unpopular finance bill that triggered protests and deadly vitamins. last week, the streets of kennedy's capital have turned into a public battle ground demonstrations here smaller than those of recent weeks. but the scenes a no less kale, take the young people across the country. angry. it's a government, they say doesn't understand the struggles because it's a lie. yes, lie them. and if you have done that, you had about 10 fine job for them. there's no job now. we had a lot to very the streets. we want him to go, a few must call for include cvt in the decision making process is we are already

having and seeing the president making more cutting down budget, saying this would not happen that you're not happy with the who's consultation. of the president william rooter was false to buck truck on a new finance bill that's initially spot the protest. the low would have increased the taxes in every day items, including bright and cooking oil, canyon opposition leaders have spoken out in support of the demonstrates as to the demands we're going to see the east, the beginning of last best jobs. they have given our country by one last the best jobs we day, the season i'm swim readings by implementing all the 2 months or week, lloyd n sync the country for to get in on tuesday, october misplaced coffins in the streets of nairobi to draw attention to be

excessive false, used by police. the state funded kenya national commission on human rights said as well as those killed hundreds of being seriously injured. and they have been dozens of cases of enforced or invalid trade disappearances. i talked to jane long guy as a fellow in the advocate program of economy and diamond for international peace. she joins us from washington. d. c. a. welcome to d w. why are people still out on the streets? even though the government has dropped this controversial, a finance bill, a thank you, feel for this option is to have this conversation. and yes, i see. have you said that people are still in the streets and we're beginning to now clearly see and what is the minds in is that the institutions also triggered other pressure points that are already there in the 1st thing that we,

we're beginning to come clearly to show clearly is that young people are too very dissatisfied, read their current situation and they find themselves in. and this is because kind of a very young country, but i'm of young people are still um unemployed. and i still don't believe that they have been hard when they're trying to get their grievances that they do not see a few to hold for themselves in these. so they're still calling for the government to listen to them. and also this is mad because, uh they have been seeing a lot of politicians indulged in a lot of wealth or a few months. we have just come into the office. and the believe is to not a huge governance issue. but it is, we've seen the country and don't want to see drastic changes in these. and suddenly one of the things start has also continued to do it. cuz our big these issues is also the ability to car, to read this, to the young people still feel that they have not been how does this come up, what you need to, to be listened to. and they want why did dialog beyond the view at 5 took them

there. and so there's $21.00 to engage on the issues that are still on the table. okay. but people have died during these protests which as resize thoughts about this fine on spill these grievances that you've talked about. i'm well, but what clearly that before i recess of, of protests any, any, any of the ones that the, the, the, the, the pressure has been released in this way. then not going to go back quickly. but is the government really having done the utah and on the finance bill goes side? yes. if you right in the streets and fun things down, we will suddenly q a unemployment where we didn't. we didn't do that before. yes it's, it's very 1st, it's very unfortunate and my head goes out to the families and the young people who lost their lives in this process it's, it's very unfortunate time, a ton of events, the solution to the problem that kind of finds its fit itself in and the government

finds itself and there's not an easy solution that does not have a new solution. and it's a very multifaceted and has multiple layers of how we could even come to entangle that. but we have to started looking at this into the current situation. has been uh, the tensions have been there for awhile. so we need to find the quote, the tensions that i've had, this collective attention, the rhetoric and then having the results to at least address some of the key issues, especially with of governance and for the young people to, to be hard because i think there's 2 opportunity for dial up to happen or meaningful dialogue to other people feel that the voices aren't being hot, so that is one. now the 2nd thing you've ever said 10 has a very young country. the issues all about a governance vending itself and, and unemployment will take time. any call number is concerned, that is going to be have to be just short term uh, solutions that help a child that way for but then they'll just have to be long term. but all the sudden

she wants in need of an environment the to the that is peaceful and one that is able to have a dialogue and open dialogue. our discussion on what is the best way for him to sort that using the current situation is very important and then having a strong conversation on how come the country move forward. one of the big problems that's holding the country back is, is, can me this debt problem as a debt problem and an iron math problem. and the expansion of the tax space was suppose to help fill the best financial whole. i mean, think that the president does not in terms of austerity in trying to, to, to fill that whole surely is going to make what ever problems are bad now for young unemployed people was this is for most of us, this is, this is very complicated because indeed, there is a dead problem indeed, the good that does need to raise revenue for, for 4 outputs. so we need to find creative ways, and i think it really costs for

a lot of advice and we don't even just to put it always simple, simple basic with the fund, a part of the leadership at this point to see how to ensure the dimensions of raising revenue, i'm not going to make a situation worse, young people, or even general kansas do. i'm not able to just provide for the very basic. so they may resolve. technician cannot also be seen on the current uh, based on the income to be how it needs to be a way that the data suffices. but also it has a long term strategy to ensure that it is also put you back some kind of revenue back into these people's pocket. because the problem right now is when you put more taxes that are clearly going directly into the book and then it becomes a big issue. people don't feel like you have to send into us, you're not, you're not hearing the cries of the people. so he's going to become a lot of conversation on how do we do this, how to expand this next bit. even more boring, more lending, but you know, the end of the day, it also has to be advised by the current situation on the ground. all right,

good to with your thanks for talking us through that. so talk to jaden boerger from the county in diamond for international peace. thank you very much. i the the got it in 5 minutes to have it to old man has called on ukrainian president flooded me. is that asking you to consider a cease fire with russia? mister o'bannon was speaking during his 1st visit to keith. since russia's full scale invasion in 2022, president savanski said that ukraine needed a just peace and cold on europe to maintain the supply of military ages country. the gold bands visit was also his 1st foreign trip since hungry. assume the use rotating presidency on monday. the 6 month term could say some fiction as the w is . let's see. i show to reports a hungry head of the rotating you counts the presidency for the 2nd half of 2024 pests and vicious plans for the block over the next 6 months or more do it. and if

she, i'm on the move to of the home, gideon presidency is let's make you to great. again. her multitude refers to an active, proactive presidency. it reflects the expectation that we are stronger together, that we are part of it together. we can automate who we are and on your own model to a single not before the budapest is now in charge of sharing the accounts and meetings and bringing forward european union policies by brokering agreement among the states. it wants to focus on areas such as competitiveness, enlargement and efficient border controls. but hunger is relationship with a 27 country block has been tens over the past few years. the use executive um the european commission is currently holding back some 19000000000 juris and payments due to budapest, overlooked at all concerns the country which is considered advice that the union government wants to. there's some of this for itself, but the big things,

the influence of the hungarian presidency, our new politics will be limited off to the elections. the european institutions are in the transition phase, which leads to a slower pace in the law making machinery. and you, you commission is due to end to office by the end of the year. in the meantime, hungary will try to leave it small on your own. as have a look at this very that came out of shepherd lot. who is professor of international affairs at princeton university and joins us today from the, from city of neil, or welcome to the w professor. how none of us should you lead is be now that's one of the blocks chief records will be so i think the blocks agenda for the next 6 months as well. i think it needs to be moderately nervous and it needs to actually stay on its toes because fixed or bounds, been planning, the rotating presidency for years now. he's had a huge staff of people working on this. gary and government bought a building in brussels to stage a lot of events that actually organized something like $1500.00 events during their

6 months presidency. even though most of the e. u is going to be kind of on highway this between 2 different commissions and 2 different parliaments. so i think what's going to happen this, the bottom guarantees are going to try as hard as they can to set an agenda to change the tone. and as your clips set to present an alternative which is not by europe unified around a set of common values. but a europe organized around a set of separate sovereignties. you have to, you will have to grapple with uncertain yet, and then how much damage kind of you actually do there. because as i understand it, the, the, the role of the presidency is essentially administer tape one. it will still if it, if it has a particular hung gary agenda still have to gather consensus from his 26 partners as well. it's true the hon gary is will set the agendas for all of these meetings. and one of the things we've seen from victor, oregon,

is that when he wants something from the you uses whatever power or blocking vito, he has to try to leverage what he needs from the you and your clip. mentioned that the was right now, withholding billions of heroes from hungry for various kinds of rule of law, violations therapy and court of justice. just find hungry, 200000000 euro with a 1000000 euro find a day accruing while for bond has not honored you asylum law. and on top of that, or if i is for subjective of an article, $71.00 procedure in the castle and here's the offered thing. is he going to chair the meeting which his own country is going to be up for examination? it's awkward and it may be that oregon does. ready have a decisive boat and he will change the tone. you will try to change the agenda and he will try the bargain for whatever he can to get, whatever he can get from the list of all about the the, the home guardian prime minister,

he's been in ukraine for towards the president. so let's get to the pushing for what he called a quick si, fi that he said could accelerate towards, should we try, he's was at face value. well, this is a line that has gone down very well with his supporters at home that, you know, we need to cease fire. we need to stop the killing or buying has claimed to be the pro peace candidate in europe. but of course, anybody who understands the pain in russian conflict knows that if you stop the fighting right now, russia basically went so a lot of what it set out to get. and so the e u has mostly been united around the idea of if this is really not a moment to have a ceasefire, it's just that it's hard to argue against somebody who says, i want peace, i want a ceasefire. we must end the conflict, of course, that's attractive. it's just not the world we live in. and so that brings us to, to, to what we've been hinting at, hey, i big, big be of, it's a whole bunch of power and ones for russia. and it's president what you believe is behind that as well. so again,

or ben could see that the you was going to cut crucial funds that were by needed to maintain his government, which is i think by all measures the most corrupt government in the u. and so when he saw that the was closing in on him and possibly cutting a lot of the funds that he needed to pay off, his supporters and his oligarchs, he looked for money elsewhere. and so at 1st he went to russia, which actually gave him quite a lot of support subsidies for building a new nuclear power plant. but now of course rushes falling on harder time. so oregon's real attention in the last year or so has been to try to court china. so she's getting actually made a visit to hungry. something like 44 percent of all foreign direct investment. the china makes in the you goes to one little country, namely hungry, and all of this is designed to pop up for fun if the cops was fine. so that's what he is wants to get out of this. but he's also, therefore not

a reliable player. when it comes to cooperating with other member states in a uniform policy, is that any upside for the european union in victor, old bonds close ties to russia, orienting to china? that well, he claims that again, the language of honest broker has come up multiple times and or been keeps saying, look, i'm the one who can talk to everybody. i'm the one who can negotiate a peace agreement. i'm the one who can solve problems with china. now, so far, none of that has happened, oregon either because you doesn't trust them to do it or because the chinese and the russians don't trust them to do it. but that's always what he says. you know, somebody has to talk to all sides, which, you know, again, makes a lot of sense if you just take it at face value. but if you invest it in the context that or buy and it's talking about, it's not nearly as innocent as it looks. so is there an upside? i am not sure about, but that's, i think,

actually bothered not. and there's one other down side that i should mention, which is that the last time or about how the rotating presidency and are ready in the 1st couple of days of this, one or bomb has use the rotating presidency at the you to crack down on opposition at home, so just in the last couple of days, he is crack down on the leading investigative new source and he's crack down on trans past the international. and most of the other end, you knows that receive for an funding are really in for a rough drive, while he has the rotating presidency, even though they helped in commission, filed an infringement action against him for setting up this investigative authority. but that's actually harassing all of the civil sector organizations. he assumes when he's president of the, you know, the rotating president that he can block anything that you would do to go after him . so he's going to have a field day at home, consolidating power. fast, nice thing analysis and we thank you for it. professor kim l shepherd from

princeton university. thank you so much. thank you very much. i the grease has to come across country in the european union to introduce a 6 day working week for some businesses. the measure applies to firms that provide 247 surfaces, all those experiencing extraordinary work load research pro business government calls, the regulation work a friend's a, but it's sparking outrage amongst trade unions and people on the street. how like you name? oh, it goes to the else who's your employer says this is it will take it or leave it. you can't do anything about it. this is green, i'm getting numbers. so what we're going back to earlier decades in this law has nothing to offer, then it will not solve the problem of businesses that don't have enough to diocese . this idea of you might have different assignments, but the most a world health organization says a 40 hour week is already too much in other european countries. the workload is

decreasing excitement a 6 day week is acceptable. we should not let it be imposed on. never about the if i saw that 6 day work was wearing me down, i would not do it. i prioritize my mental health, not money. yeah. but the journalist i'm very kind of solvent, joins us from athens of welcome to the w on paper. greece is economic growth is found, it's above the euro zone average. so how's the government justifying this move? well actually this is somewhat of a paradox because companies across the globe are actually towing with the idea of actually limiting and store may work hours and working weeks. but the government here says it's introduced into labor skiing, a 48 hour working week to boost productivity. and it

causes in this because a, because it's a grease is shrinking population in a well truly fine demographics as be because of a severe shortage in skilled workers. greece has been facing a terrible decline in its demographics. the prime minister has called it a ticking time bomb. in fact, um, and what has simply exacerbated the situation in, in recent years, has been a master slide around 500000 schools. young, well educated greeks who loved the country at the highly refined. now, the pharmacist here a decade long prices and the government has not been able to woo them back. so this is how it's ultimately justifying the reason for going ahead for the scheme. and

what are experts saying about this? because it seems, it seems just ridiculous that, that okay, we have a shrinking population and a few, a skilled workers that will make the few that we have were caught up rather than attracting more back to the country as well. there has to be trials and tested, runs a 4 day a 4 day, what weeks in other parts of europe and abroad in germany, japan, south africa, for example, have tried, it's tested and it has proven effective. but in greece, this has not happened. in fact, that there is no stockton disapproved and it happens that any strong, credible, you know, professional voice has to come out and support the scheme of things by any kind of professionals that i've been hearing, at least in the,

in the past few days. our neighbor extraction products, from example in the u. k. the racing of critical i ski. so is there any support for the measure amongst the people and normal working people, the government must have known that this would be a hated move. i hated lose when it is considered about byron. why a gas, you know, trade, you use a call or saying that it be use, effectively rotating, right? that factory workers have. and that the document effectively is playing to the hands of big money and big corporations. and it is also a counter intuitive in the sense that using our, for example, a pension has the right to continue working in the job rather than making way for fresh blood to get to come in. but at the same time,

if the government, the government is simply saying that if it does still have to know that, then this is the best that it can, the ultimately come up with. so it will be facing more than the position from from locals in the very few right now who are actually supporting it to her. so that i'm pretty, i see, i kinda saw in athens and that is the day i even follow out to him on social media at dw news, you'll find that by to start headlines on dw, don't combo on the d, w. and although i'm from intact a on the day have a good day the

i knew that what happened to me was right. i just didn't know where i could share at was who is going to believe me. this is greg was sterilized against a well in canada as with thousands of indigenous women from the 1970s to present a global membrane. next on d, w eco, africa saving indigenous medicinal plum from extinction,
