the solution for us, we thought when i was i'm going to install finally got i know where depending on the port stop light. oh, i mean, and i want to be renewed in along this to get. i didn't seem to get up on the same time and my son lost in the boss of are going to grad complications. and now i saw a suspect expose on the most part of the experience. i'm there, the same solution for the multiple assist you guys. i think the us just one of the most unsustainable in terms of, uh, uh, it's good to go because the us comes up with some styles. uh, one of the, i guess in the word, i mean the us is, is, is, has symbolized the bulk of culture in the world right. big dollars for example, is the us national symbol. so um, the bulk of the culture of the god of culture, all, most of the americans that you go to fly or the right now that comes on should not

be sustained for very long in the future. what john curtis bring up, he says this the right contest, the issue of yeah, i think it's that there's a political issue. is this the question of such thing? level people on the right. if we have just talking about sustainable people them for the approval. no. this is definitely not, not because we have to do as a thing, but of the people a month for the hey, role we put into google. so we'll just rate these people every country because they have to cross the gap of these and people assess to economic resources, the energy results. and so they have to pull up the economy to trying to equalize their relationship and, and asking the long term of things will be filled up these flu. again, we'll touch on these the way the notion of systems, such thing we've seen all of this is really sustainable, honestly. yeah, yeah,

because these all politics of such a thing sustainable. and so we need to sit down and find the frame, but then solution looking for a cause i'm in science of the russia, is hosting an international form of education minutes as cold shipping. the future day event is cool. that is why the russian ministry of education and the government of the republic of pass though, the negation from $31.00 countries are attending. we spoke with the d. l. c. mess of education, who says that his country is in everything possible in cooperation with russia to make and quote dictation accessible in the morning. so we have had a very good impression. first of all, well the police do have come to russia for many african countries to box raise a priority in the democratic republic of congo. we get scholarships from russia and all students love to come to russia for education, especially in engineering and civil engineering. and other future technologies,

we have many areas of common interest with russia and the democratic republic of congo all university call probation includes not only calibration in the exact sciences, but also of awesome technology in agriculture. because of also is an important agricultural power and money technology because of all sure he's one of the lead us in mining. in addition, we exchange teaching experience. we have already started working with more on a state pedagogical university. we intend to continue. so you need us to corporation, so that all students and boston students, all scientists, and boston scientists kind of work together. we already have many major projects in which of options of working infrastructure in particular, without building a national pedagogical universe to inc and show. so those great interest in those in boston, and a lot of our students are starting at the boston university, together with the embassy of the boston preservation in the democratic republic of congo. we have agreed to create the 1st russian language center. it's all universities. also, the, it's a payoff, as ramos occasions,

the refugee question, that's the topic of motive i'll put on there. so i, big of, on the cost of everything that's next, believe i have is all of them the in the past decade, the global refugee crisis has more than doubled, surpassing the $100000000.00 markets for total displacement. this means that over 1.2 percent of the global population has been forced to leave their homes. and these include refugees internally displaced people and asylum seekers. is life

better after seeing their home country and what happens to the whole country that opens the stores directly g? i'm christy, i'm, you're watching the cost of everything we're today. we're going to be looking at the movement of displace refugees worldwide. and how this affects them as well as the local population, the and never and history have we ever witnessed there being 100000000 displays people . and there is absolutely no a system that will ever be able to support 100000000 people in need without more resources. and unfortunately, the current system is extremely inefficient, as it cost far more to settle refugees and a western nation. then it does to support accommodations and camps for refugees as close as possible to their homes. because by settling refugees in the west,

we are using the limited funds in the least efficient way so that many who cannot immigrate, suffer in under funded and under served camps. over 600000 people apply for asylum in the u and 2021. syrians, afghans and iraqis logged the most applications for asylum together, accounting for almost 40 percent of all applications and the member states with syria being the biggest. in 2021, germany received over 30 percent of asylum applicants in the u, followed by france, spain, italy, and australia. together these 5 number stays received almost 3 quarters of all asylum applications in the u. jeremy is the 2nd largest host community in the world, nearly doubling its refugee population in less than a year with the escalation of the conflict in ukraine. it now hosts over 2200000 refugees, including over 875000 ukraine refugees,

665000 syrian refugees, as well as over a 183000 refugees from afghanistan at a 151000 from iraq in the past decade, the global refugee population has more than doubled. in 2022, we exceeded 30000000 refugees. germany has maintain high levels of support for accepting refugees, despite the concerns about immigration. and jeremy does not have the law enforcement necessary to keep german or refugee safe. many would argue that germany has reached the breaking point with the amount of stress refugees and migrants have placed on society. jeremy needs to cross laws to cope with the situation and find additional enforcement, social workers and staff to be able to sort out economic migrants from the refugees and process asylum claims before accepting more refugees. in the u. k. asylum seekers are generally barred from work until they have attained refugee status. if

they do not receive an initial decision on their asylum claims within 12 months, they can only apply to certain jobs like nurses, social workers, and engineers. the food poverty is a big consequence as prices rise to run a basic household and the burden of taking refugees is draining the european economies. crime rate is up drug usage as up and many citizens are getting frustrated. refugees also have impacts and pressure is on clean water energy and the environment. and the situation is turning into a permanent reality and has produced a negative attitude in many ordinary europeans seeing them as a burden on the local economy. many syrian refugees failed to stimulate into european societies. no, it is no fault of their own how our syrian supposed to integrate with the population that lives there when they can't work, because they don't know language or the customs. and they don't know anyone. the

only way to survive and their new environment is to turn to crime, to survive and support their families. another essential problem that refugees, space is housing. most refugees are sent to live in places far away from cities or in the country side. medical services and health care are generally an affordable to many who fall sick. and cultural differences is perhaps one of the most complicated challenges that refugee space, as they must learn, to submit to it, and accept it in order to become a genuine part of the refugee hosting country that they now live in racism and prejudice. our normal outcomes of the language barrier and cultural differences between the local population and the refugee families. the worst happens in schools, medical facilities, health care centers, and social service centers. when a refugee applies to work, even when they have all the experiences and abilities, refugees are also exempted from the rights that are given by the state to which people like enjoying the rights of minimum standard of living and security. and

they are unfortunately off and exploited. so now let's bring in a bill out to q 3, professor of middle east history at university of mary washington. so net bill, what is the most challenging thing for refugees to face? what about for the host country as well? sometimes the, the, the biggest issue is numbers, but otherwise i think the biggest issue for refugees would be acclimating to a new society and getting used to the positive or the, the reality that they have to reinvent their lives. entirely from the ground up, the moment they arrive in a very strange and alien uh, culture to their own. and for the whole societies it's, it's sort of a similar but in reverse, it can be very hard to successfully seamlessly integrate the refugees into the culture. especially if the culture is not historically welcoming or unsure what to

do with them. so that, that varies from country to country though and are, there are things that can be done to alleviate this refugee crisis, as it seems like this is a problem with no viable solution. well, this is the areas that i knew best, namely iraq, later on in the middle east are the most vulnerable, the climate change. there's some list of the most vulnerable countries and of the top 5 eoc and either on or 2 out of the top 5. and, and they've already experienced something like $55.00 degree summer's, and $55.00 degree celsius summers, which in fahrenheit is, is i don't know something like a $110.00 plus degrees. and humanity cannot exist in a 110 degrees without being indoors, without being in the water. you know, all kinds of temporary situations. but you cannot, you cannot exist like that long term. and even if you're indoors with the air conditioning, it's not really a long term solution because air conditioning itself is driven by energy and driven

by a and is itself driving climate change. so in those 2 examples, it's getting much worse, but they're not the only 2. and i would also observe or argue that the saw held in central africa centric between central and northern africa has been dealing with sort of an agricultural crisis for as long as i can remember. and they're not likely to bode well with climate change. meaning that it's probably going to accelerate the desert application unless there's something i haven't heard of because i have heard that there is a potential possible positive impact of climate change for some of the middle east that is tied to together with the shifting of the jet the jet stream in the atlantic so that it may happen that it actually starts to rain in the middle east due to the shifting jet stream. but aside from that one potential positive which

i'm not sure is even going to be true. and i'm not sure i understood it correctly, but it seems like it's mostly very negative. it's certainly negative for iraq, iran, and probably for the saw him as well. as i say, really goes, one rotten apples boils the bunch, and refugees are now being looked down on because they bring crime and violence to ones peaceful neighborhoods. so is there any truth to this and how much more crime has there been since countries have open their doors to refugees? are there stats on this? i do not know the exact statistics and i am very skeptical that the statistics are accurate. because when those statistics like that data point are measured, they're almost always measured in the context of trying to approve anti refugee policies, anti migration policies. so i don't actually trust them. i think they're,

they're, um, they're, they're sometimes inaccurate. and maybe sometimes they are accurate. now the idea of one rotten apples boiling the whole barrel. there is something to that idea, at least in terms of perception, in that a lot of the refugee populations will have something go wrong. either visa be between them and the state, you know, the host, the host country state or between them and the, and the host country society. and then it gets blown out of proportion. and it becomes this idea that the society is under threat in crisis. i saw this myself about 67 years ago when after working in the mediterranean, with, with refugees and migrants trying across the mediterranean, immediately after that, like the very next year we're talking 2015 in the 2016. there were all these claims that crime had gone up in places like paris, berlin, and they would, in,

in the things that i saw on the internet internet, they would enter splice video of sort of random chaos. and then run a slogan, saying, crime has shut up. well now you fast forward to 2023. nobody's talking about it. at least they're not talking about that particular wave of refugees, which was massive. it was well over a 1000000 people that made it to europe and nobody's talking about the crime instead. you hear a much deeper story about how so those, those refugees have done quite well. they've, in effect, become activist in germany. they're, they, they've learned german. they're, they're, they're working for the betterment of german society and their own populations at the same time. and as far as i understand, it's mostly a positive story. but you'll still hear these one, apple, you know,

spoiling the rest of the barrel type of stories where things do or things are said to be in crisis. and i just don't believe that to be the case. how the city is now been over populated after opening themselves to all the refugees. and does this decrease the quality of life for the original inhabitants? the population has grown and then and there i would refer to my own society. in other words, virginia uh, from fredericksburg, virginia, up to northern virginia. the population is growing, and some of that population is a refugee population. but i don't think the refugee population is the primary driver of the population group was primarily driving it is urban, ization and, and the search for corporate jobs and the successful search for corporate jobs like amazon, h, q 2 up in northern virginia. and, and, and in effect the, the, the state government is trying to attract all of this economic activity,

which they've successfully done. and that is driving population growth. so at least in, in my surroundings, in virginia, there is population growth, but i don't think it's the refugees. i think there may be 5 to 10 percent of the total that the 80, the 80 to 90 percent of the total is coming from other parts of the united states, which aren't doing very well. and relatively speaking. now another point about the idea that they're causing population growth in making life worse for the um, the host community. i would offer a calendar of vision. and that is that there are many examples up until now, where there are either rule or more often, urban environments where the neighborhood has in effect, been a disaster for the last 40 years and refugees come in and they make that neighborhood drive. that is happening far more frequently. then having

a situations where refugees are causing the population to boom, which is pushing out who's community and individuals. it's much more frequently the case that under invested left behind communities in places like newark new jersey or, or, you know, detroit michigan or just pick any city that doesn't sound like it's doing very well . certain neighborhoods in those cities are thriving now because of refugee populations are for us and the bill out to create a will be joining us right after the break. well, many countries have received a large number of refugees a year after year. many countries have received almost none. so what are these countries doing to prevent refugees from coming into their country? well have more after the break

so they just don't have to shape out the application and engagement because the trails when so many find themselves will support. we choose to look for common ground. the what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy even foundation, let it be an arms race is on all sides. very dramatic. personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very unclear to get a time time to sit down and talk. welcome back to the cost of everything. while many countries have received

a large number of refugees year after year, many countries have received almost none and are doing everything they can to prevent refugees from coming into their country. japan accepts the least number of refugees for a major country and economy as they say, and must look after its own before allowing refugees. japan also wants to preserve their age and culture and fear that adding refugees or migrants to their population will affect their culture. other countries who have strict policies on refugees include hungry, south korea, saudi arabia and guitar. other countries like saudi arabia are similar, being rich in oil. is that a similar level to japan? in western europe, portugal has received the fewest refugees at point 03 percent. these countries have been quite peaceful in recent years compared to the route sweden, belgium, germany, l u k, are taking and they're now experiencing higher rates of crime in italy. authorities

have increasingly refused to allow boats with asylum seekers to dock in their ports . however, once the conflict broke out in a chain, many european countries that have been the most negative about receiving refugees from outside europe such as poland congress. in slovakia, they actually became the largest recipient for a written ukraine. refugees, the vast majority has led to poland, which now houses almost 1200000 refugees. more than 6000000 have been displaced by the conflict and ukraine. estimates are that hosting an integrating ukraine. refugees could cost hosting nations an estimated $30000000.00 in just the 1st year alone. the people have also pointed out that ukraine refugees have generally been well received. which contrast it with the way refugees from other parts of the world are treated. and this should not be ignored as a different treatment received by refugees from ukraine compared to those come from

countries outside of europe is in some extent rooted in seen a phobia, an opposition to muslim immigration. this is particularly noticeable in poland, where fences were be erected on the border with feller roost pushing asylum seekers from the middle east and africa back while ukrainians are being welcomed with open arms. and 4 more, let's bring in again bill out to create a professor of middle east history at the university of mary washington. so professor, obviously it is a humanitarian thing to do and the right thing to do. but are there any benefits to accepting mass refugees or are the countries who accept refugees now just struggling with the extra burden on society? i think that's absolutely accurate. there was all of this hemming and hawing when the syrian refugees originally came in 2015. and again, that was a very large movement, it was over a 1000000. but now these years later,

they're mostly doing very well. and they were not treated well by many players, including other east european states that tried to prevent their trans, their transportation over their territory. when they were just trying to get to germany. and a more recent example that plays into the ukrainian crisis directly is the example that happened like 2 or 3 months before the launch of the, the russia ukraine war. and that was a number of refugees were in bella cruz trying to get to poland. and what i think was november december of 2021. it was a month or 2 before the invasion. and in that case, it was only a matter of, of, of a few dozen, or maybe a few 100 refugees who are largely iraqi kurds. from what i remember and the poles, the polish government,

was doing everything it could to keep them away from poland. because once they reach poland, they could claim asylum. so they were, they didn't use live ammunition to the polls credit. they used water, cannon, beatings, push backs from the wall from the fence, and they pushed them back in the bellows. and eventually those refugees who were trying to make it to the you were pushed back into balance loose and i'm not sure what happened to them. now, not, not 6 weeks after that. or maybe a couple of months after that, russia launched the invasion of ukraine, and it was all open arms. everybody was doing anything they could for the ukrainian refugees all over the world. now i don't have anything against ukrainian refugees. i think they deserve a fair shake and a chance to live safely and securely. but i would argue that so do syrians, and so do you, rocky curds and so do lebanese. and so do ask ends. it's not just something that is,

is there for bella, luce, sorry, ukrainian refugees. it's something that should be there for any refugee. there are many people criticizing their country that have been more open to ukraine. refugees and syrian refugees because they are white. what do you make of this situation? and another, another historical point. if i may be a historical point, and this is kind of a footnote the history, it's not something that's extremely famous. but in world war 2, there were several 1000 polish refugees who took refuge. any ron? this story is always intrigued to me because i don't know how they got from point a to point b or really how many it was. but it was us, it was a sizable number, and they were welcomed with open arms as far as the story goes, any ron? and then after the war they returned to poland. again, the details escaped me and it's a, it's a fascinating story. but it can show that in, in the reverse,

at least in that one occasion, they were provided refuge, refuge. they think these refugees will ever return to their home country, or did they look like a permanent migration, as well and not known? i would, i would point to the vietnamese in the united states. so in 1975, there was this title wave of vietnamese refugees fleeing south east asia. so they weren't just feeding amazing, advertise cambodians, lotions, etc. and this, this tidal wave of southeast asians ended up in the us primarily in california. but not only, and i grew up in new orleans. and a lot of those vietnamese ended up in southern louisiana. which in a way was logical because they're going from a catholic society to a catholic society. and a lot of them were south vietnamese who were catholic and they were going from a fishing society to a fishing society. and back in the 1970s. again, i was

a child back then, but i distinctly remember that there were like fist fights between cajun fishermen in vietnamese fishermen. and i distinctly remember that the v in the me is held all the low wage jobs in the supermarkets and gas stations in the mid seventies. now you fast forward 50 years later. and the representative from new orleans east, which is where most of the vietnamese live is a v. it. and it means american and they've added things to new orleans culture. that's very positive. for example, i don't know if anyone in the, in the, in the audience is familiar with king cakes. but it's a big thing in new orleans around marnie garad, i have a king cake, which is a type of pastry with a baby in the middle. well, when i was growing up, the king kicks were in edible. there was this company called mackenzie's that would make it and sprinkle some powdered sugar on top. it was terrible, always stale, just awful. well the v and the means of reinvented the king cake. and in new

orleans now the best king kick in the entire city comes out of a vietnamese bakery in new orleans. and that community is thriving and there reinventing even nor one's culture. and after katrina, that community was devastated by katrina, i mean totally leveled. and they were back within a year because they helped each other get through that if the destruction, financially they helped each other and they're still striving that as an example of what can happen on a positive level with even a refugee population. just wait, continue to have your education, let them work, an honest job. 50 years later, everything's much, much better. thank you so much, professor for all your time today. and there are very few winters when it comes to global catastrophes that involves so many displaced people. while the refugees are

the biggest losers who have lost everything, their homes, their way of life, their country, the neighboring countries, are also feeling the effects as well. having to receive millions of refugees. many people feel over whelmed by the numbers and see people moving across the borders. but the people are not the problem here. rather, the causes that drive families and individuals to cross borders is the real problem . whether that be war persecution, human rights violations, or any other crisis. hosting refugees is just a short sighted solution and unrealistic, that is unsustainable in the long run. i'm christy, i thanks for watching and we'll see you right back here next time on the cost of everything. the,

the list also is, is how long is it being crated? and so these are being killed and thousands of types destroyed as kids counter offensive is a repelled by russian massive opportunity and asked by pointing to the country that meant you've just been all towards the supervisor. and just as a model it does is it ended by an idea of people who the driver has a rep to the pavilion is really rate on of impact density of ramallah.
