have been blocked so it's been important steps have been taken the central european university in budapest is still open because of protests in the streets in budapest so there has been some positive developments and this will go back to kenya and it does see the sec back in its human rights record why because the government has taken a forward an authoritarian approach ever since the failed coup in mid two thousand and sixteen hundreds of journalists thousands of civil servants remain in prison in turkey the government has had a a no tolerance policy towards human rights towards for free media germany and the e.u. both need to have a have a human rights first policy towards turkey and not focus on turkey's role on managing refugee flows into europe and of course turkey has been very important for europe in terms of refugees and asylum seekers as well hugh williams in direct off europe and central asia division of human rights watch a pleasure to have the un d.w. thank you so much. ticky faces intense criticism for violating human rights including a crackdown on jonas the gentleman turkish

so it means there have been no violation of the budapest meant -- memorandum. but in a separate thing, the ukraine said this will not provoke racist, new not these, -- neo-nazi's. after theappened protests was a gross violation of that commitment. you, aslly, i assure president putin reiterated once again, we seek the full implementation of the agreements without any admissions and that is fully in line with our respect for territorial integrity for ukraine and its current borders following the referendum that was held with international law. reporter: but, we are talking about the 1998 borders and territorial integrity in terms of 1998. so maybe this treaty needs to be modernized. minister lavrov: with all due respect, the issue you just distractse -- it only us from the bottom line. the bottom-line is that ukraine has subscribed to the minsk a cause. the cause is nothing to do with crimea. we need to focus on pushing the key authorities to deliver on what they committed to and what is also part of the security county -- council resolution. we should diverge a

international circus festival is being held in budapest hungary one hundred twenty six circus artist from fifteen countries will present their presidents of the jury as you sheen chaplin son of the legendary charlie chaplin it's the only form of entertainment which is with the family. tradition in europe and i think it's also why this year the festival in budapest is honoring the two hundred fiftieth anniversary. the birth of the modern sagas in europe. on to some music now south korean pop known as k. pop is a massive success across asia and its popularity is also extending to europe poland has the continent's biggest k. pop scene and fan clubs that organize events across the country they see it as more than just music for the fans k. pop is a lifestyle that is even prompted some of them to start learning korean but find out more about their own risk popularity and potent. korean pop music is enjoying sensational success in poland for the last two years kodesh radio station k. paul has devoted don't want our broadcast to it complete with its own charts and a korean language course.

edgar was born in budapest and in 1941, he lost his citizenship and was classified as an alienjew.ives were sent to auschwitz, and he was sent to the wood oppressed ghetto. —— —— the budapest ghetto. he was marched halfway toward the railway station before he was told to return to the ghetto. there he was forced to sleep in a roomful of people. he managed to earn an extra couple of super day by clearing away the dead from the streets. —— soup a day. his story is one small remembrance of the barbarity of the nazi regime. edgar lives in britain today and is still sharing his story at the age of 87. i would like to pay tribute to his courage and strength. it is something to behold the impact that he has on school students and we must think about how we carry the message forward when we no longer have survivors with us to give that powerful testimony. in october, we got this dossier. i have it here. at the heart of it are lists of historic crimes it has been linked to myanmar people committing atrocities. where have we heard that before? the language of extermination has power because

so it means that there have been no violation of the budapest memorandum. but in a separate protocol ukraine said it will not provoke racist trends. but what happened after protests was a gross violation of that commitment. but politically, i assure you, mr. president putin reiterated once again, we see full implementation of the minsk agreements without any omissions. that is fully in line with our respect for integrity of ukraine and in its current borders following the crimea referendum that was held and fully lined within international law. >> but we are talking about the 1998 borders and territories in terms of 1998. maybe this treaty needs to be modernized. >> with all due respect, the issue you just raised, only distracts us from the bottom line. bottom line is that ukraine has subscribed to the minsk acords and the minsk accord have nothing to do with crimea and these, of course, need to be implemented. we need to focus on pushing the key authorities to deliver on what they committed to and what is also part of the insecurity council resolution. i d

the government was trying to shut down an important university the central european university in budapest that didn't happen because people went out and protested against it even in the u.s. there was resistance to some of president trump's measures on migration on health on women's rights and so on so there was some some some progress despite a whole series of serious setbacks on human rights in two thousand and seventeen but even still i mean these populist efforts they still exist don't they and i just want to quote something from your report on and perhaps we can drill down a little bit deeper into it because i've read here. you know phobic populace hostile to human rights shaped politics and that european governments seem determined to keep migrants away at all costs how did human rights come to those conclusions human rights watch for. of course i mean we saw election successes in austria in the netherlands for instance for for populist parties or major gains by parties a populist party is in power in austria now so those are governments which are. you know promoting anti immigratio
