according to the study, the u. e is now the destination of choice, enjoying the largest inflow of millionaires in the world. last year. leslie comes as london has increasingly found ways to bypass private property rights for foreigners. wealthy russians have find themselves a particular target. since the start of the conflict in ukraine, russian president vladimir putin has repeatedly stressed the risks of keeping money abroad even warming 20 years ago. not to place too much trust in european economies . you see as no annual a garage door. there's every reason to believe that the use of funds placed in offshore zones will be tightened. i'm not saying that they will be frozen tomorrow, but if a decision of this kind with different variations is made, excuse me, for the plain language, you will swim against the tide running around the course and attempts to unfreeze these funds. well, let's get some perspective on all this on speak to independent journalists, look reweigh in brussels, a pleasure avenue in the program,

if the e u is serious, about transparency and lisa, serious as wagner line, says she is in the wake of had target. then she really should be the very 1st to set the example along with her big pharmacy e o bodies. instead of hiding from the people she's actually meant to serve ariel drones had become major means of warfare in the fight for don bass. now, the years for conducting restaurant recognizance operations as well, of course that of destroying enemy positions. so remaining on the front lines with this story. aw, senior correspondent, but at gusty these close to the front lines. roots are immortal. hazard. artillery is trained on every stretch. only trees offer cover even that scott, ah, some of the less the closest they are is 700 meters away at 3 o'clock through in a total of 3 directions. also a 10 o'clock and 12 o'clock and our boys are there to their rotating to day. they're doing well in this area, buzz recently ceased from ukrainian forces. they know every path, every clearing troops heading out to relieve those at forward positions. must be extra careful. drones guide them

on a trip this week to the united arab emirates, the u. a. e. he brought up the issue of kashmir and he's asking the u h e to act as host and mediator. this would be a major development, but there is a caveat. sharif says, talks can only start once, india has restored the semi autonomous status in the part of kashmir. india controls that had been revoked, back in 2019. joining us in the studio is d, w. channel shan shamela, that big cardiac concerning the status of that part of kashmir seems to be a non starter for delhi, which makes me wonder just how serious and important is this offer from sharif. i think it is an important also for the bunks on the government and the military establishment. not so much for the people to focus on because boxed on has been facing such a cute, political, and economic crisis for the past few months that people are there. i am here in karachi, there is a gas shortage electricity shortage under the price hike in relation to people are not really bothered about focused on styles india or even gosh, we're because a g

ah, which really discredits the e u as a whole. e u has been discredited in internally as well. i mean, if it was such a nice club, why would great britain leave it in 2016? why wouldn't iceland join in the, in the 1st place on some other european countries that had the chance to and the it's been constantly presented as a sweet carrot for the nations of the so called western balkans. which is another colonial term by the way, invented by auster hungarian minister of foreign affairs yolanda as she in the 1000 century of some things that do repeat in history. so the fact is that the in the meantime the countries and the populations are really got tired of the process of joining the you. so they can't really thread serbia, especially not serbian population with anything. that is why i think that the serbian minister of foreign affairs has got the courage to say these things. and he won't get any kind of backlash from, from the site. because now because majority of serves are really wants the brussels agreements to be cancelled. and also this never ending on never and ending boston

under pressure from american hawks, e. u. countries are going into total delirium over the delivery of increasingly heavy weapons to zalinski micron made and donated clerk tanks. american hawks won a world war in europe. we're seeing different european countries, hungary, croatia, close to them, serbia, they're all saying what was going on. why are the west or western european countries, nato countries? any of these weapons? it's not working. and now we've got people like audrey was there who is the chairperson of the german armed forces association, which is telling the german government to stop sending weapons because it's depleting its own stocks. and we know this throughout nato major countries are deeply in their own stocks for i would say a policy which is which is not working in different countries. the small countries, i would say courageous countries like hungary in croatia or voicing their concern and saying, why are we doing this? what is, what is the use of this? this is pro, tracking the war and it's driving us

right now the central bank of the u. s. e u. and u k are increasing the rates that you and i have to pay the credit credit, but many about the being forced into due to be inflated price of goods and services . these are called interest rates, which is set at a baseline by all governments. the banks justify this by telling us that they are being hit by the rising goods and services and need to charge us more so that they won't go bankrupt. that's not to mention the rob a fossil claim that they also need to charge us more in order to fund billions upon billions of a few crane in order to combat the energy crisis caused by the sanctions on russian oil and gas done. we all wish that we could offset our mortgage or credit card payments against someone else. unfortunately, the wall doesn't work like that for you and i, but it does for them. so what is the knock on effects of this? the less money you have, but less you are going to buy. once you have maxed out your credit card, which now costs even more to pay off due to the increase i

e. u via the so called western balkans route in 2020 to that 70 percent more than the previous year. and the highest number since 2016. the increase says this migration expert is partly due to deteriorating conditions for asylum seekers in greece and turkey. and the fallout from the covey crisis during the panoramic, the border where coal thought arizola, well, the slow down, the more lands and then that, that it, sir, ah, right up again. i'll doing this. you're in this ashley. the 1st 9 months there is being an increase of this number. albania is never fully recovered from decades under communist rule. poverty and corruption are wide spread and many people, my grace abroad for opportunities. for now, the increase in asylum seekers passing through the country hasn't cause much public concern. perhaps because albanians often understand why some people like yusef feel they have to leave home. natasha butler, al jazeera, tirana albania, o.

so the e u was mediating both and that it failed to implement both every time behaving as an advocates of one side. which really discredits the e. u. as a whole. the countries and the populations are really got tired of the process of joining the you. so they can't really threat serbia, especially not serbian population with anything. that is why i think that the serbian minister of foreign affairs has got the courage to say these things. and he won't get any kind of a backlash from, from the site, because now because majority of serves are really wants the brussels agreements to be cancelled. what do you make of this statement by the serbian foreign minister? what do you think he means by call them a deception? it was obvious to me from the beginning that these brussels agreements are only going to harm interests, not only of serbs and causal and the thought here but also of serbia as estate. because serbia was giving one after the other this the states, let's say our powers to the breached in a government, which we call to enter in institutions. because we are not recognizing it as a

that's according to the ngos reports which also touch on the lip service that the e u paid to global unity against hope. it. while at the same time gate, keeping it cove technologies and practicing a sort of medical apartheid by keeping the jobs out of the hands of countries that perhaps weren't in a very good position to pay big pharma as much as what you're of was a bathroom lobbying and shady deals have made their way into the spotlight in the ear recently with the arrest of officials and personnel, accused of corruption over linked to lucrative could tarry and murat can lobbying efforts. and now with this report suggesting that's just the tip of the iceberg. if the e u is serious, about transparency, at least as serious as vulgar line says she is in the wake of the target. then she really should be the very 1st to set the example along with her big pharmacy e o bodies. instead of hiding from the people, she's actually meant to serve modern barbarism. that's our turkey flood. they protest by a controversial swedish danish political figure who burned the koran in the name of democr

u. s. t. e u, china, and india. everybody always understood that banking on cheese gas is not a good idea when needs to have a different plan. and the plan is to save energy and to install more renewable energy. so when you have 2 competing trends, and the main question for me is which one wins? one important step forward that we may see in 2023 is a deal between the g 7 countries and india along the lines of an agreement made with south africa last year. under the just transition partnership. the us, germany, france, the e u and the u. ki agreed to provide south africa with barry engine financing to speed up its coal phase. our plans a deal of this kind with the world's 5th largest economy. india would accelerate its switch to renewables and potentially represent a big move towards climate justice and the curbing of global warming. and if i bought a country which has 5 times bigger economy, what a much it sort of i serve in a new padded aim of descriptions, which can actually keep up with a b as needed. the next un
