u colors. we're allowing the you to spend more is now. busy politically expedient in front i've, i've spoken to a number of different e u, diplomats from across the you. most of them say that they are aware that investment is crucial, that your needs to become more competitive. visa v, china and the united states. but they would also question whether this amount of money is going to be possible whether it's potentially apply in the sky number that mario drag has put fluids. start the product in brussels, so that fits your up to date of next on the w planet. a looks at why colvin capture technology needs the reality. sure. i'll be back of the company. the sometimes it's hard to find what you're looking for. but we've got something for you. with each passing day of the continuing conflict in syria, more and more children fear their future may be fading away. with every classroom damaged or destroyed, every child witnessing the heart of of war, every family fling the violence. we can't risk losing any tire generation of children.

because that is sort of the e u low of the dublin regulation that a person needs to apply for side of in the country off that you were 1st sort of a rice on. so if, if i'm a new regular migraines and i go through all these checks that the german border, i may decide that i should have applied elsewhere. what happens to me, what do i do? exactly, and then you know that germany, germany basically wants to send you back to the country where you 1st are right now this under these dublin, you regulations only goes, you know, it requires sort of a formal procedure. you as the regular to buyer and a half the rights also, you know, to, to, to, to have a say is it's like a former legal procedure and then it needs to require sort of a consent. also member states where you 1st arrived. so in many cases, this is leo agrees, the sort of the border states of the european union. and now this is sort of a form procedure. and what the cd you see is you wanted was for that to happen very quickly and not go through that formal procedure. okay, so what are the refrain? unions, articles of faith is there'

now of course, the u i. e has been accused of fueling this conflict of arming the are assessed the u. s. has just signed on a strategic partnership with a you a how does the us testify it's closeness with you a given this controversy, the united states has been very clear to countries across the region and around the world. this is not the time to send more weapons at the time to send more food. it's a time to the partners in peace. we believe that the region has a lot to lose if this war continues, and so much to gain. if we get to a stable and democratic sudan, so we see that being an important signal to the neighboring countries, many of whom have taken millions of refugees across their border, as well as to our gulf partners and those around the world. this is the time to stand in solidarity with the sudanese people for that peaceful democratic future that they so clearly demanded in 2019 with the revolution and have not yet been able to live. but does the us condense or u a e for its role in the arming th

next close of delta and the located across the do both a straight gibraltar stripe rather from spines, mainland. they've been imagined entry point for many migrants trying to get to the e u. date of this. the onset of shouts reports from don't every day, the line in front of the you test, the biggest soup kitchen gets longer. we had and her colleagues prepared several 100 free meals here on most of all that gets a migrants from the margaret. oh, that's a kind of i'm on with you in the if you there for the past few months now. so it's of people helping crossing the border. it has always been a lot to do here. currently, it is more than ever. the us hundreds of migrants have arrived in the small spanish explained. we base wind for up to 8 hours from a roku, taking advantage of the warm weather and the cub provided by the nighttime fog to make the good boat crossing. that'd be also arrived recently, the erie and tells us that since getting here, he spent every night outdoors. he sustained a few injuries by crossing the border. but she cons, get seen at the clinic or get a place at one of the official migration centers because staff for come see i'm going to come see him whe

and that's and those seeking to reach so many will now have a hard time at the extra borders of the e. u. external board as the and it was interesting in the past is that many of those countries at that external border who had been talking about more controls and checks and even closes uh over things like your regular migration had received a lot of pushback from countries like germany previously. so i mean the, on the fundamental principle of the, your opinion is at stake. and in germany, if it's a fundamental right to claim asylum, to ask for a site and then tell me whether it's successful is a very different question. and now in germany, also this government wants to see a much tougher external you boy, the at that is a direct reaction to the last back publicly backlash of the public here. and i'm the way you're now seeing a lot of people citing migration as a key concern. so this is a political response. and the really interesting question is, how much movement that will now get back into the e u debate on how to deal with this issue. as an e u level, because everybody understands th

and another point that was talked about is the strengthening of ties between mongolia and b, e a, u. now that is said to contribute to further growth of import and export r o, o, probations. now, all in all relations between both countries seem to be promised. and i mean, both presidents seem to be satisfied with the roles and ties between both of their nations that in recent years and they mutually beneficial cooperation. we stays at the height of everything. well, a lot of it put in the visit to mongolia has spots and are, in your opinion, in your train as the fall, reducing the lumber defied an obligation to the international criminal court to arrest the russian president on war crimes charges. a key it says mongolia will face consequences for its decision. mongolia allow the united criminal to escape justice event by showing the responsibility for his work. crimes who will work with partners to ensure that these has consequences follow along. but to the regrets that mongolia state policy to the right in statute of the i, c. c, did not comply with the supplications under the statut

speaking of which b e. u has a whole new set of hand pick commissioners, and it's 1st ever defense commission. here's a little taste of what one might now call is audition from back in july. for those who are arguing that ukraine should agree with a piece conditions of putin, i would suggest to look into the possibility to offer, to put in territory of their own country. that would be very precisely what you should do piece can be achieved only if you crane is winning and its territorial sovereignty is defended. and that can be done only without much longer support the pride and joy of his native lithuania. no doubt. it's not like anyone's actually going to follow this guy into battle unless it's for an office paint ball tournament. maybe he's just one more dude yapping away in the unofficial language of the you, which is yap. and he's, when it comes to crossing red lines that risk leading to nuclear war. there's another table one where the baltics aren't being allowed to pretend that they run the show guys l

so they will face a vote for members of the european parliament in order to secure that roles on the 27 e u. countries put forward that candidates. so i'm have been proposed for a 2nd time from the line choose is which of them gets the juiciest roles and fantasy is titles. the most desirable positions are the ones covering trade economic policy, competition, migration, things b, e u coordinates. some of the less a rows of focused on things like sports and education, which the you doesn't control. instead that dealt with by the national governments . some of the commission is majorly boost the power they've had nationally before. these roles like former deputy prime ministers demo margaret to invest a part of who's imposed huge terrace on us giants, the breaching youth play rules. over on says terry brett, on until his surprise resignation. when he find died, he wasn't to be re appointed. he was in charge of the use internal market and was in public bottles with tech giants like ex, demanding. they abide by e u rules. one things already set to that wouldn't be agenda balance involved, the li

of this anyway? well, russia just keeps telling. today, the european parliament cooled on the e u. countries to lift restrictions on key of strikes with long range weapons on the territory of a country to strengthen military support for ukraine. and to announce the collection of funds from the population of europe for the needs of the ukrainian forces. if such a thing happens, russia will give a tough response using more powerful weapons. no one should have any illusions about this. the state duma insists on this so 131 e. lawmakers said absolutely positively no way to all of this. and 63 of them abstain, because apparently they had something better to do then to show up and actually take a stand on the march towards world war that's costing europeans a fortune by the way. or maybe they were just in the washroom where the toilet paper has about as much value as these non binding resolutions that the passes, which of course makes it much easier to just the idea logically, for virtue signaling purposes. but still, the non binding resolutions do risk appear pressuring the more feeble

and another point that was talked about is the strengthening of ties between mongolia and b, e a u. now that is set to contribution for the growth of imports and exports are oh, probations. now all in all, relations between both countries seem to be promising. i mean, both presidents seem to be satisfied with the roles and ties between both of their nations that in recent years and they mutually beneficial cooperation. b stays at the height of everything and they saw that sign 2 full baths updates. that's fine. that's as good as outside the a ukrainian moves exciting. santa has reportedly been hit by a russian rocket in the central city of pull right now. he says full, she want people to being killed. a 180 ended process defies. and a seat has yet to comment. file correspondence, right, in jobs you have now is joining us from. don't ask them rugs. good to see to can you please bring us up to speed on what we know about this room for the site and what it means fully putting in all me as well. the strikes took place as the $100.00 we service united you credit ministry trading said that
