, shortly before the world cup started the labor in a video posted on twitter, she sent the european parliament recognise and respected top parliament bullying to try and accusing them of corruption. there's the goodness. katara is a throne rather in labor rights, abolishing a fall and reducing minimum wage. despite the challenges that even europe and companies are denying them for the love they committed to a vision by choice and they open to the world. this is despite international concerns that thousands of migrant workers could have died, building the tournaments stadiums. kylie has been expelled from her party at home and her parliamentary group. what happens to her next will be up to belgium system of justice. i'm at the latest on this investigation earlier i spoke with the w. corresponded jack paris in brussels. well, it's getting ever, ever deeper. we know that 600000 euros in cash was confiscated, that potentially eva kylie's. father was trying to get some of that cash out of an apartment that's been widely circulated in belgium media. and i have it on exclusively for the w that potent

faction of the european parliament.o voted to expel her from her ranks, as well as naturally suspend her participation in any programs, by the way, it is known that some socialists followed. uh, voluntarily also on the way out, refusing. now, after all, in the further activities of some commissions until the completion of the investigation. raphael luxman, a french socialist , said that the problem actually took root and quite a long time ago. he claims that on the pages of the politician, for example, that a closed meeting of representatives of the socialist faction with lobbyists from the boat was held in the european parliament, where some euro-deputies allegedly arranged direct auctions their votes. how much will they evaluate their vote in favor of this country, and roberto micela, the president of the european parliament, was forced to hastily return from malta to brussels in order to participate , among other things, during searches. and on monday i speak to the leaders of those european parliament practitioners.

she made similar comments during a speech at the european parliament later in november. they accusing some members of parliament, bullying at high and accusing them of corruption. there's the goodness, katara is a throne, rather in labor rights, abolishing a fall reducing minimum wage. despite the challenges that even europe's companies are denying to enforce the laws, they committed to a vision by choice and they open to the world. this is despite international concerns that thousands of migrant workers could have died, building the tournaments stadiums. kylie has been expelled from her party at home and her parliamentary group. what happens to her next will be up to belgium system of justice. when she w correspondent jack power case in brussels for us, jack, hi there. what more do we know about this investigation? well, and i have it on the exclusive authority sources are telling me that the categories themselves are now investigating. and i understand that the investigations are into victoria ambassador to the european union. who could abdul aziz been ahmed al mulky an

during this session of the european parliament, the sanctions themselves were not discussed in detail, but it is about the fact that uh, the european union should move to more decisive actions and, for example, still approve the e-e base in order to be able to use the frozen and arrested russian funds that have been arrested in many eu countries in order to to rebuild ukraine, because we are also faced with the fact that even 18 billion, which absolutely do not fully cover all of ukraine's needs for reconstruction in money, in e-e, in support from the west and the world, e-e, those 18 billion, the european union must borrow for international financial markets, because there is no money for ukraine in the eu budget, and right now the moment has come for these frozen russian billions to be directed to the benefit of the country and to the war with russia, but so far there is no discussion of specific documents on this matter they are rolling, but for now we have what we have. well, mrs. tetiana, can you tell us what happens on the sidelines and in the conversations of the meps when it c

so because the problem is the european parliament has limited powers. it is really in the end, the member states who make most of the really big decisions. but the parliament occupied the moral high ground. they always said we are the ones fighting for european values. we're the ones fighting for the morality of the european union. they were really very strong on the war in ukraine this year, and they were strong on iran. so there is many instances where they have really tried to sort of come up is very strong stance against authoritarian countries. and now if things happen like this, they simply lose credibility for them, this is in, in horrible hit against this credibility and against their it. so that their moral stance, if they lose that they're going to lose a lot of the informal power of the soft power. they have built up carefully throughout the last years. barbara, thank you for that barbara. rosalind strattman of your peer unions also considering further sanctions against iran over human rights abuses of his comes after a reigning authorities ex

make no mistake, the european parliament, dear colleagues , european democracy is under attack, and our movements towards open, free and democratic societies, enemies of democracy, for whom the very existence of this parliament is a threat, nothing to which these malevolent individuals are connected with these autocratic countries who do not legitimately weaponize non-governmental organizations, unions of individuals and members of the european parliament. no, this is not an attack on democracy in eu ms. medsola cathargate is a self- inflicted damage to the european parliament. and most of its members. have historically resisted stricter fairness rules and an efficient law enforcement system. the brussels media write that the journalistic corps working under the de facto european commission is now furious because the european commission refuses. in general, to comment on this situation, in particular, on the eve of the chairman of the european commission, the russian fonderlein at a briefing was asked about her attitude to the participation of one of its vice presidents. margarita soski

president of the european parliament and institution. dad sir, has fades itself as being the most democratic institution in the european union as its members are elected by the citizens of the european union. european. yeah, all eyes will be on the you, parliament as the situation that continues. now the president has called for a meeting into this that corruption investigation. what are we expecting to come out of that? well, i think that now of course the european parliament and its president met sola, there needs to actor. we know that term eva cailee was stripped of all her responsibilities, but she is still a member of the european parliament. she still enjoys immunity, even though we, according to reports, know that she was arrested and you can only be arrested as a member of the parliament if you are caught red handed. but in theory, see she still enjoys immunity. and of course, for the president of the you appear, appeal, appear in parliament. now the most important task is to demonstrate dad, she's ready to support investigation

good neighbors and partners with the european parliament president roberto matilda today promised to get to the truth no matter how ugly that might turn out to be for the european union. she was speaking to her fellow law makers today, and she said that democracy in the european union is under attack and promised to route out anyone and everyone who was involved. i think it would be no exaggeration to say that these have been among the longest days of my career make no mistake, the european parliament their colleagues is under attack european democracy is under attack. and our way of open free democratic societies are under attack. there will be no sweeping under the carpet. we will launch an internal investigation to look at all the facts related to the parliament and to look at how our systems can become yet more watertight. we will shake off this parliament and these towns and i need your help to do it. but i must also say that while we can always look to increase de terrence and transparency, there will always be some, for whom a bag of cash is always worth the risk. and what is e

that is, that is being made here in the european parliament. so derek devotees are relatively strictly regulated, but 3rd countries that's a wide open door. there is simply nothing they could so far do whatever they wanted . so there are people here in parliament who say we have to look at other countries apart from katara. we know that as a by john and this was the last years, has been very busy on many fronts, politically, trying to bribe people to gain a better reputation at the same holds true, of course, for russia and maybe some others. so this story isn't over, the parliament will really be busy with looking at the details here from months coming. and the big problem is, it's not only the frustration and disappointment of parliamentarians have nothing to do with this. but the big point is the soft power of the you are peeping in. parliament rests with the moral high ground they can occupy in say we of fighting for european values. if they lose that, they really lose a big part of who they are and what they can do in europe. you know, that

the question is, what does this all mean for the european parliament? parliamentarians are heading to strasburg for that big session where the whole 750 that of them all sit in the house. we're supposed to see it nice every time throughout this week. and there are a number of groups that are pressing for this issue to be put on the agenda. i think we can expect that to happen. but then the question is that of the votes related to cattle that were meant to be scheduled for thursday this week coming. what will happen around them? that's all on that. visa liberalization issue. they w jack, paris in brussels, thanks so much to ukraine in, in hockey, ukranian investigators are now gathering the remains of russian weapons used against civilians in early battles in the hope that could be useful in future investigations of war crops. it's a different kind of gray theat. a thick layer of snow covers these pieces of metal laid out next to each other. many responsible for lives lost in the conflict. as number illustration of the intensity of moscow's attack and th
