this is why the european commission well come forward with a proposal for a new secure digital identity one that we can really trust and that citizens can use europe wide for everything whether it's right renting a bicycle or paying taxes. and identity that you have full control over where you can control the data that is transferred and how it is used that is our idea of a technology focused and centered around people. for the service of people in the 3rd focal point in infrastructure. we must keep up with the racing pace of technology and if we want to build a europe that is on an equal footing with other lists then we simply cannot allow 40 percent of people in for all areas to still be lagging behind when it comes to broadband access broadband connections are. thingy foundation for home learning home shopping home office working and many of the services that are now being offered online without broadband it's simply impossible to run a business these days or to expand a business so. fast data connections are a basis a requirement and an opportunity for rural areas to develop it's on

european level. well the european commission has granted over the years since 2015 more than $2600000000.00 euros that's around $3000000000.00 to greece in assistance for managing the arrival of migrants so each of the then 27 e.u. member states participated in that effort but also for yet is e.u. countries have also been in a deadlock over the european migration system with some states opposing to quotes as to redistribute new arrivals of asylum seekers within the block so that doesn't so so that shows that there's a sort of an antagonist ation on the european level and the european commission of ways presents a new proposal on the migration system india end of september. reporting for us good to talk to you. now fire has broken out in beirut support weeks after the devastating explosion that killed nearly $200.00 people in the lebanese capital and left hundreds of thousands homeless flames and smoke rose from the destroyed port the cause is still unclear the army says the blaze started at a warehouse where oil and tires were being stored there were no reports of injuries but the fire terrified residen

hi alexandra migration has been such an explosive issue within the european union what do we know about the commission's proposal well it appears that the european commission will try to break the deadlock on migration by presenting a pragmatic proposal that takes into account how difficult it is to agree on that issue one of the most sensitive issues in the european union and that to take into account that everybody's a red lines have to be respected and that will stress once again the solidarity in the european union 2 key issues here we expect the european commission commission to stress that it's important to intensify affords to return those with no right to stay in the european union to their home countries the other issue is that the european commission will stress that it's important to beef up screenings for new arrivals at the external borders so overall i would say that this report proposal is expected to show that europe is getting once again tougher on migrants alexander you mentioned red lines one big one has been that many e.u. member states are still reluctant to take in more migrants so tell us how t

commission's proposal . well it appears at least according to what has been leaked so far that the european commission is tryingto break the deadlock on migration one of the most sensitive issues in the european union by trying to present a more pragmatic proposal by trying to say that everyone's red lines are going to be respected while at the same time by stressing that solidarity with those who have been affected by this crisis most very important that it needs to be amended tory solidarity from what we understand one key issue in this proposal is to beef up screenings for new arrivals at the borders one of our key issue is to intensify affords to return those migrants that were not granted the right to stay in the european union back to their home countries but of course we have to wait and the to see what exactly is going to propose today and given that you've just highlighted there that we have these countries which are still so locked in so opposed to taking in more migrants take us through the lens of the compromises and the incentives that are in this proposal . so the european commission is expected t

deterrence simply to show how bad things are and europe ok so again we heard one of the european commission is this say well now it is time for us to do something has anything changed to make a new migration an asylum policy more likely to be agreed now if you ask the member states what to do about these people some think you should keep them on the island some of said even taken i was just in vienna discussing this with the austrian chancellor and they all string government says even taking 100 children from the island would be very bad signal because then more people would come so the logic is keep them there others think this is has been the opinion in germany that it's unacceptable to treat people this way so you need to find a way to bring them off the island those who need protection and share them in europe now between these 2 positions the you can find a compromise i suppose a compromise would be looking for a unanimous agreement we suppose the compromise is we have a coalition of the willing countries who are willing to take these people and move from the that is true and i think most people in ger

deterrence simply to show how bad things are and europe ok so again we heard one of the european commission is this say well now it is time for us to do something has anything changed to make a new migration an asylum policy more likely to be agreed now but if you ask the member states what to do about these people some think you should keep them on the island. some of said even taken i was just in vienna discussing this with the austrian chancellor and they all string government says even taking 100 children from the island would be very bad signal because then more people would come so the logic is keep them there others think that this is has been defined in in germany that it's unacceptable to treat people this way so you need to find a way to bring them off the island those who need protection and share them in europe now between these 2 positions you can find a compromise a compromise would be looking for a unanimous agreement we suppose the compromise is we have a coalition of the the willing countries who are willing to take these people and move from the that is true and i think most people in germ

what hurt both the economic as well as the strategic national security interests of ukraine it would undermine the european energy union concept that the european commission itself advanced to diversify energy imports from over dependence on russian natural gas since 2015 and of course the project provides a platform russian malign influence so key to corruption and at least capture

the european commission stephanie mentioned as well specifically as an area that needs improving with the e.u. policy what is the situation. well the fact that they're discussing it is only really down to the fact that maureen burned to the ground just over 2 weeks ago now it was a forgotten problem these were forgotten people and because the international spotlight is now back here on legs while they're debating it and they've come up with the policies that you just heard natasha talk about what is the situation with the people have been moved they were on the streets thousands of them off to the camp burnt down for around 10 days then the police said ocean operation there moved to the new camp behind me i think let's talk about the complications when it comes to the asylum process try and break it down and make it understandable because it is very complicated to do that i want to bring in my guest he's a lawyer with refugee support a.g. and you are very much involved in this you're helping refugees migrants seeking asylum here trying to explain to our audience how difficult is it is

well the european a commission is trying again to create a coherent and humane way of dealing with migrants and asylum seekers it's unveiled a plan by which e.u. member states like hungary and poland which refuse to accept migrants would instead offer money equipment or personnel to help patrol borders european commission president or so they are funded by an appeal to member states to show solidarity with one another and rise to the challenge of migration a camp on the greek island of some most fit for 500 people it houses 5000 it was meant to be a transit point but a backlog migration system has turned it into a home for so many. routes on the 2 years i've been here not for good or the conditions are squalid this place and these people are why europe is finally confronting this crisis presenting her proposal the european commission president called on member states to rise to the challenge. this package reflects a fair and reasonable balance between responsibility and solidarity among member states we all share the benefits we all share the burden. the migration pact includes compulsory p

european commission. member states we are all well advised to. ration also for this option. exclude. will have to leave it there david mcallister chair of the e.u. u.k. accord nation committee thank you very much for joining us. thank you. now twice a year storks follow a 12000 kilometer migration route between southern africa and europe and one of the best viewing spots for bird watchers to see this wonder of nature is a garbage dump in the middle east. time for break for flocks of white storks in the jordan valley and the occupied west bank at dawn on you thought of just yasi leshem is up early to observe the birds at this huge garbage dump twice a year distorts navigate their way thousands of kilometers from europe to southern africa and back israel and the palestinian territories are like a bottleneck they're one of the main micro tare routes for millions of birds. because they avoid to fly over the mediterranean so we are like a highway of course or treasure between 3 called good and so we are lucky to have in fact 600000 stalks flying twice a year over all that almost all the w

european commission kind of like make statements like this and criticize russia pretty putin. saying that publicly that when looking at president putin in sochi the other day. the better rouge as well were granted a loan of $1500000000.00 to keep the state going to pay for all. of the police the security officials and the military and so on and so the european commission would regard that as interference but from what if you a bill or russian that's not in the news that's one country helping the other and they told the bush lot of states and their fleet of a brother who between 2 and new should kill knew that if he can find the money to pay the security officials the. military and the police then he can he heard or said to me to stay in power because if you look at the pictures of the security police really are going put demonstrated so on the not pulling back and therefore they believe that it's going to stay is the easiest official recognition to think of the opposition council some sort of defining moment i would put it to along the lines of washington's recognition of one kaleido as venice will as president do you see any kind of links there. there's a patent now because one gu

well. you have the president of the european commission and the european council getting to the back that tendd both tweeting pretty strongly today, and the phrase they're all using is this. latin for agreements must be kept, deals must be stuck to. what they're really annoyed about is that first of all this about ireland, the peace process and avoiding a hard border. everyone put so much effort, emotion, thoughts, going backwards and forwards into that bit of the brexit deals of the idea that it's being tinkered now after the deal was done is quite worrying to them. there something within the withdrawal agreement called article four which says this deal will have direct effect in the uk, whatever british law says. the government in the uk is now proposing a law which overwrites that and in brussels we ask if they can override this bit what else by the override in future? the uk government is also facing criticism over this in parliament. here's one example. if ministers think it is acceptable for this government to not obey the law, how on earth can the prime minister expect the public at hom

or outside it as well as from using the channels that are outlined in the european commission on mutual assistance in criminal matters brought to europe a coastal just him he's been contributing to this conversation should we say how has it been weighing in what's been said what's the reaction been. well perhaps the most important discussion on this happened in the european parliament where m.e.p. were actually debating the matter but just before that i mean russian diplomats are trying to knock on all kinds of doors and they try to knock on that door as well the russian mission is to the e.u. came up with 9 blocks of questions where the outline some of the inconsistency and questionable aspects in the european take on this some of the questions include the following one of them sounds like would there be any rationale behind the russian authorities a life decision to poison alexander volley with the use of nava chalk then another one says why is it declared that a military grade chemical nerve agent again navi talk was developed by the soviet union later russia while neglecting the fac

well when the european commission has talked about the new asylum and migration act the 1st thing that comes to mind is that it looks very much like the old one. to put it in terms which are easy it's enough to understand they've talked about spilled ing house and the ground floor of that house is going to be a very very tough border system and series of incentives given to the countries around the european union to contain refugees and migrants outside of the borders of the e.u. then you have that 1st floor of that house which is going to be. the europe's border guard agency which is going to be flooded with boats and stuff to get robust in their turns and then only on whence you reach the 3rd floor of that house is anybody could talk at all about solidarity now the last assignment migration pact was also very folly a ball on enforcement. and on prevention of migration but when it came to solidarity it just didn't stack up the resettlement agreements that would have seen that frontline states in the e.u. . have had the capacity to for asylum seekers to be then shared among other europ

globalization and a retreat from multi-lateralism well in europe it's also worth remembering that john klobuchar who was president of the european commission was also the finance minister and prime minister of luxembourg for 20 years and oversaw many of these. activities up until 2014 when he became the president of the european commission and that didn't halt his rise i think that there have been some reforms in europe there are tougher controls on a lot of the tax havens for example but the core issue here is that the people who are doing this are always one step ahead they will always find a new way to undermine the system or at least that's been the history of it and the people who are policing it are often civil servants who do not have the resources they often don't have the vision to go after these things and it's only until these types of stories come to light that people take a 2nd look at it and say well we need to get that under control and unfortunately the pattern has been you get this problem under control and then they find another way to do exactly the same thing so i think this is this is the dynamic that needs to you know

we know the idea of cleaner energy does go well with voters in big cities. the european commissionre, and a growth opportunity going forward. things up forn investors and force major changes in industries that will have to modernize. airlines, the big industries, carmakers, agriculture -- whoever gets to do that first is that the legislation will be the winner of the future, at least that is the thinking from the european commission. thearie: as part of bloomberg climate festival, one question on europe, bring us down to earth what it means. what did she say about the outlook for the european economy? be the otherill major pillar, because we know she will say she is concerned about the prospects for the european economy, and this is a health emergency, and the idea of a recover is fragile. one key aspect we will hear from her -- and this is interesting for investors -- is implementation. we have seen fiscal stimulus like never before emma we will tappingcommission markets which are play bonds sometime this year. how is the implementation going to happen? what reforms will he get fr

european commission president said she wants to move the e.u. from fragility to vitality what struck you most about her path to get there. well i think what was very interesting was to see how she really managed to to send a positive message how she was trying to convince the members of the european parliament that the european union can and should emerge stronger more resilient out of the pandemic crisis and how she was insisting that the european union should take a leadership role in terms of climate change with regards to the climate change she announced that the commission is proposing to increase the target of emissions reduction of to 55 percent in 2030 and she also was saying that the european union now after this this crisis or in the middle of this crisis has a chance to be a leader with regards regards to digital transformation and she made quite a huge number of very concrete proposals one of them told leishman of a secure digital identity that the u.s. citizens could use a word that we are talking about riding a bicycle of or paying taxes ok the results of some very specific suggestions are from her from also get
