the dogs were being transported from hungary to the uk, from hungary to the uk in terrible conditionsas also bigger than it initially looked. four of the dogs were heavily pregnant. at the shelter, they gave birth to 21 puppies which would have been worth about £42,000 on the british market. the trafficker had pet passports for some of the dogs, stating they were his pets. but the evidence shows that he had most likely sourced them from a puppy mill. the dachshunds were being transported by a man called peter hovorka. after the dogs were seized, he was released without charge. a couple of days later, he was caught again, this time at the british border, where he had more dogs seized. dog trafficking can carryjail sentences, but traffickers are very rarely prosecuted. our world contacted peter hovorka but he did not respond. once the puppies are out of hungary, illegal traders have to create a story around the puppies to sell them. a team of government vets have been working with four paws, the country's biggest animal charity, to try to crack down on this illegal trade. criminal gangs

these dogs were found in sojtor, in hungary.ked in the dark, lying on their own faeces, and carcasses of other dead dogs. these illegal breeding sites are known as puppy mills. illegal breeders cram in as many dogs as possible to produce litter after litter of puppies. these puppies ultimately find their way into legal markets. in hungary, most of the operations against puppy mills are initiated by charities. edina nemedi was one of the animal rescuers involved in closing down the puppy mill in sojtor. edina now cares for some dogs she's rescued from the puppy mills across hungary. the recent discoveries of the farm's conditions has led to international pressure for hungary to tighten their laws. convicted puppy mill owners now face jail. in puspokladany, the nebih have had a tipoff about an illegal puppy mill. there's a bad smell coming from the insides and nobody is looking after the dogs. after several hours of waiting, the owner turns up. in 2020, pups4u was one of the main exporters of hungarian puppies, sending nearly 4,00

hungary has emerged as a dog breeding power in europe. two years, it is legally exported over 70,000 puppies within the eu. a huge network of puppy farms grew up here after the collapse of the soviet union.— soviet union. the system changed. _ soviet union. the system changed, the _ soviet union. the system changed, the state - soviet union. the system | changed, the state farms, incorporated farms, were privatised. so people stopped working with cows and working with swine and the italian tradesman came into hungary and saw a big business and they started to build up the network of mm started to build up the network of puppy producers here in hungary and then the people step—by—step realise that they can make money on dogs instead of keeping swine and rabbits. and they put these animals to the place of the swine and poultry and rabbits. the industry _ poultry and rabbits. the industry is _ poultry and rabbits. the industry is controlled i poultry and rabbits. the industry is controlled by the government through licensing and farms are ex

orbán is hitting hungary.ink the consequences are not just some kind of media scandal, but we will see what will result in concrete actions . it's like the visit of petro sirtu to belarus. you know, for the past six months, that is, hungary, she has apologized for such a comparison, you know, she is handsome and cute and a european raccoon. but what type does garmider do every time with nadia that he will be fine if he is hugged and stroked there? orbany, hungary drove itself into this position, what is their logic and motivation, and they obviously do not see this as a problem, that is, it is gas, oil , they are afraid that putin is crazy and will cut off their gas, as putin did with bulgaria, with its beloved pro-russian bulgaria, is historically there. of course, bulgaria is clearly a part of the russian world many times more than hungary in the eyes of the russians, and they cut off their gas, so orban is afraid of this, and not just of losing gas, like profitable contracts, losing profitable contracts for

is there such a focus on hungary or not? well, here we have to wait a little bit.on't want to spread such a conspiracy, but in the last month, we hear interesting statements from the hungarian side, for example, and they are alternate ones, so that is, there are none if you look at the last month, there are none very rude statements about ukraine, on the other hand, viktor orban suddenly says that he may have to reconsider his policy towards russia, hungary actually, for example, the same peter sier, well, this is a person who shakes hands with a laurel there and takes a picture after the invasion, that's all it's great and in general he is associated with such a russian course of hungary, even he recently said in an interview that our calls for immediate peaceful negotiations do not yet mean that we are calling on the ukrainians to give russia the occupied territory, that is, you see, hungary for sovereignty is the same time in the calendar literally yesterday, the day before yesterday, novak said that it was necessary for the russian troops to withdraw immediatel

across border into hungary.in paris, the peacemakers recognized that. kuhn and the hungarians were actually the victims here. but they knew there was nothing they could do. wilson asked his colleagues, do we have a way of stopping the movement of the romanians? it became clear they did not. and what? kuhn does now is launches a desperate last ditch attempt to stay in power. a counteroffensive against the romanians, but a threat to his regime was not only external. rumors reached paris that general boehm, who was the deposed hungarian leader of the red army, he was now going to be minister in vienna, and he was coming to speak to the allies about possible removing could the. the following day. gregory meets with boehm and he claims to hoover that he opposes the idea of overthrowing him. but it was clear the bomb had already come to this himself. what he wanted was food from the americans to ensure that as soon as cohen was deposed, the food would come flooding in and they could be the population. and gregory, tog

we see it in hungary, we see it in poland.a powerful political force and some polls show that his party is actually the most popular party in the czech republic today. how do you intend to win your battle against populism here? let me remind you that this populism is notjust a problem for this part of europe. we saw a huge wave of populism in the united states just a couple of years ago. we saw it in the uk before brexit, a number of a number of countries, as well, so populism is a threat to democracies in general. the only way how to go out of this trap is a slow and very patient process of telling people the truth, building the arguments on measurable effects, and slowly getting back the confidence of people that was lost over time. it's always much easier to give thousands of promises without delivering, it's much more complicated to restore the confidence shattered by populists over a number of years, but it may prove to be successful from time to time. we'll come back and we'll see. but for now, president petr pavel, i th

is it time to reconsider hungary's position inside the european union?eu and nato, a number of countries went through the periods of, let's say, democratic deficit. it's not there forever, viktor 0rban will not represent hungary forever, and the situation may change. i strongly believe that hungary belongs both to the eu and nato, and we have to work with the current leadership from the position of common interest. a number of areas are without any conflict, but we have a serious disagreement in foreign and security policy. see, just a few years ago, this visegrad four group was seen as a rising power bloc within the european union. now the visegrad four group is effectively dead because your position here in prague is so very different from viktor 0rban�*s in hungary. and the eu commission, the eu parliament have for years now been locked in a confrontation with hungary, where they say that hungary is violating fundamental european values when it comes to all sorts of things — from corruption to the independence of the judiciary, to the treatment of min

oleksandr well, today in hungary they announced that they will not to arrest putin if he comes to thetatute is not incorporated into the hungarian legal system. and what kind of mechanism is this? can you explain these purely political statements that have nothing to do with the case of hungary as any country that has ratified the rome statute has international obligations , this is actually the statement of the current leadership. i really hope that it will change its mind, and the statement from the south african republic that that they will consult with russia about the rest of putin, er, that they have to consider their legislation is also about politics , is it about some legal nuances, what do you think about politics, what is really important about this decision of the international criminal court, although it is clear that it is absolutely not yet a verdict there is a long way ahead, now on the example of this war that russia unleashed, we see a situation where the state claims that with the help of brute force it itself establishes the rules of the game in the world that are

guarantees for myself personally from the european union, that is , if we are talking about hungary,n it may not have pro-russian interests. lord, i do not want to be a lawyer for this country. now but maybe we are talking about hungarian interests as they are seen by orba. and so if we translate all this to the situation with nato , what is hungary trying to achieve here? a question to which it is difficult to give an answer if, er, as far as finances are concerned, even i will start with the european world, this is also staged and cynical, to inhibit er support and aid to ukraine when bombs fall on our cities and villages, when er whole houses collapse, when people and children die and at this time it seems cynical to me to bargain for something there for myself, that is, it was definitely the policy of a neighboring country, which, by the way, is a neighbor of our state, to support us in this difficult and important time and to pursue its interests. by the way, it also needs some kind of persuasion. it would be ethical, i would even say so. and as for nato, there is even less, as

so we are speaking about a lot of money year for hungary and hungary has to undergo these reforms that the european union is asking them for. at the same time, hungary is as many other european countries suffering under high inflation. so in disregard, i think i'm not telling your secret when i say that this 7000000000 euro investment by the chinese, which is the biggest investment by china that has ever been made as foreign minister. she auto said it's very or not made. and hungary is, is very well come by the hungarian government real quick. we just heard of that piece. the hungarian foreign minister saying the chinese investment is critical, suggesting that chinese investment is going to be critical for the european economy . is it safe to say the brussels would see that differently, at least as it comes to batteries? well, i cannot exactly tell you what process is thinking about this concrete investment right there. what i can tell you though, is that the european union has seen that it is really important for the europeans to also get their own capacity building and the product pr

weaponry has already been handed over and finland sped to join. nato is almost a done deal after hungary. parliament ratifies the nordic nation succession ah, on pablo foley, as welcome to the program. we begin in israel, where are prime minister benjamin netanyahu has delayed plans to introduce contentious judicial reforms until next month. in a televised address. netanyahu said he made the decision to allow time to reach a compromise with opponents of the changes. the move follows massive civil disruption and pressure to hold the controversial overhaul. the chaos has shut down much of the country and threatened to paralyze economy. so let's listen to some of what netanyahu set you talk soon. not of a sense of national responsibility is locked out of a will to prevent a rupture among our people who have decided to pause the 2nd and 3rd readings of the bill. in this session of the connection, in order to give time to look and reach that wide consensus over t w correspondent tanya kramer joins us now. forum juries, them for more on this. hi, tanya, great to see. so did you dish reform has

yulia, i was not going to ask you this question but you said about hungary and it's quite interestingit's good news for us, but regarding hungary , yesterday the minister of foreign affairs of this country petersierta said that kyiv and budapest are preparing the visit of viktor orban, the prime minister of hungary to kyiv, when it will take place it is not known why petros clearly said that they are currently discussing some technical issues , but in your opinion, how important is this visit for us and for hungary, the question is probably rhetorical because it is absolutely important in any international relations, especially in problematic ones are not 100% negative e-e. because if you look at the line taken by hungary, how it actually plays, highlight those public statements that are made in the context of the war in ukraine, in the context of russia and their actions , namely the support of all ten packages of sanctions and following the course that is professed by the european union as such, hungary is not such an unequivocal one hundred percent supporter of the russian federati

discussing some technical issues, but in your opinion, how important is this visit for us and for hungaryestion is probably rhetorical because it is absolutely important in any international relations, especially in problematic e-e that are not 100% negative e-e. because if you look at the line taken by hungary, how it actually plays, highlight those public statements that are made in the context of the war in ukraine, in the context of russia and their actions , namely the support of all 10 packages of sanctions and following in the shaper of the course which admitted by the european union as such , hungary is not such an unequivocal one hundred percent supporter of the russian federation, and it is precisely in the context of this ambiguity of hungary's behavior around the russian invasion of ukraine such a visit is extremely important. probably even more important than the visits of the heads of states that traditionally support ukraine, so we need to correct hungary's attitude to the conflict and actually correct their statements regarding russian behavior in ukraine, and for that we

hungary and is indeed the whole of europe now united, firstly, hungary's position is wrong, secondly, and secondly, the european union is based on consensus decision-making in such specific areas, you know, it is possible that we managed to reach sanctions packages regarding the joint project on the purchase of ammunition take uh part day hungary itself does not take part in it but fortunately does not block it i do not consider such a position responsible one pad but the european union within the framework of its decision-making mechanisms should reach a consensus such the process requires a lot of time, however, it was possible to achieve such results . therefore, the successful way is to continue negotiations with hungary within the framework of the european union and possibly change the emphasis on the situation in ukraine . we remember that nato as an institution actually is also not involved in the coordination of lethal aid, it seems mainly not because of hungary, but rather because of the concerns of other member countries, that is why a special contact group for the defense o

because romania is big, romania is big, hungary is always there are people who think like that, thereeople in every country, there are such political forces and they will great smaller but they are small they are always marginal but they say we have taken away from us it it is it is the hill of przemysl the team of the region i always ask people who want kuban and this jacket area and voronovsk what you will do with them we could only now from our parts of our pro-russian population to find a common language. when you say that they started communal services , many people live there, 10-15 million, so that keep in mind, this will happen. and it will happen and there will be provocations for the entire parliament. parliament, only one person wants to take bucovina, you understand, there could be more. well, you can. by the way, who was in odesa just west of odesa, well, it’s just, well , it’s hundreds of meters, and the romanian army was stationed there . there were times when you were stationed there during the second world war the wars of the first world war, this is not far, this is

union agrees to bomb fossil fuel cars by 2035 after offering germany i confession and why local in hungary are protesting against the construction of an electric door. this is dw business on kate ferguson. thanks for joining me. israel's largest labor union house, called also a nationwide strike after prime minister benjamin netanyahu said he would delay a controversial judicial reform. the announcement comes after tens of thousands of people took to the street to show their opposition to the plan which would road the power of the supreme course. business leaders, economists on security chiefs are among those warning that the proposed legislation would push israel towards an autocracy. one book that's bring in yes, yes, the van founder and ceo of i 8 ventures a platform focused on innovation. yes, a good to see you. we've really seen the power of unions in this country. we expect a strike every time that benjamin netanyahu tries to push through an unpopular reform. well, this is an interesting good question. i think we have never seen such a strike. it was a strike that combined both the u

hungary is generally like that here. is specifically playing his role, he wants to keep his power and get a product from this, everyone sees the example of turkey , how roughly, and economically and financially, this role is very good, well, it played at least as it seemed, and it reminded me of the turkish leader , yes, and many others, of course, want to take part in this, including orban . well, he is also playing, so to speak, in the wrong direction of some kind of global confrontation between russia, china , the united states, he, well, roughly speaking, he has , he tries to balance between interests the european union and its own interests, the interests of russia, to earn something from this, because without some kind of economic connection , it will be difficult for him to maintain his power further in hungary , of course, that is why these negotiations are , so to speak, well, that is, the inclination of the west towards negotiations with the help of china first of all, it is the chinese point of view that the w

the parliament of hungary started a debate on the ratification of the accession of finland and sweden to nato. non-aligned status after russia's full-scale invasion of ukraine, acceptance of new members requires the consent of all alliance members all of them, except turkey and hungary , supported scandinavia's application, why ankarat there, budapest does not give the green light, what are the prospects for nato expansion and how it can affect the course of the russian-ukrainian war, we will talk with our european correspondent bohdan tsyupyn, who joins our studio from london. congratulations bohdan. so, sweden and finland submitted applications for joining nato back in in may of last year, all 30 members of the options signed the protocol on the accession of new members in july, and most of them , except for hungary and turkey, ratified these protocols. why are ankara and budapest delaying this process? countries and hungary and turkey, but the peculiarity of the hungarian position is that the government of prime minister viktor orbán has not yet openly expressed any objections , th

so deborah, at san in east hungary is a government strong. but many here who support the ruling fittest party like marianna feel let down. when she shows us how close to plant will be to residential areas covering at least $220.00 actors. the size of more than $200.00 football fields, the battery plant is set to be one of the biggest of huron soy preparation for the plant have already begun. estimated costs. 7.3000000000 euros. scheduled completion year. 2028. many locals years say this far land, the water, and the arrow to region will become toxic. the government says the plans were create new jobs and people's concerns are based on fake news. china's growing foothold in hungary is no surprise. it is part of our bonds, longstanding policy, to look east. he wants to promote hungary as a hump for electric vehicle, berries, and hunger is currently in dire need of investment. as it struggles with inflation, a we currency, and declining you subsidies. resistance for the plan started to grow after the drought last year, dried up this lake near the

in may, hungary has said it will also approve. within the next month or 2, they keep changing the days. so i hesitate to believe exactly which day hungary will ratify. they had said they would do it before christmas. but in any case, this is due to happen within the next couple of months. and then it will move very quickly, president nina. so he said he would like to wrap it up on their side before the next parliament is elected. but that's the 1st week of april t w's. terry shorts, in brussels, former pakistani prime minister, emron. com has agreed to appear in court in islamabad. con left his home in lahore to make the 300 kilometer journey to the capital. he faces corruption charges, but he denies any wrong doing. his failure to attend previous court hearings lead to an arrest warrant issued against him. that warrant has now been cancelled after a violent confrontations between his supporters and the police outside his house. but concerts, he fears he could still be taken into custody. he w news asked him ron khan, why he had i

well, if we start with hungary, that was also supposed to be a quicker process. hungary was supposed to vote on ratifying these memberships in july last year, and they've been postponing and postponing again the vote. and initially prime minister, victor autobahn, who will be also the person to give a green light to the process. he was very much in favor of the membership. now, recently he has a changed, his tone said as well that, you know, pointed out the finland and sweden, alongside other members have been critical of hunger in the past. you know, when it comes to the state of full of law or media, freedom, et cetera. so it is a bit of a political play there when it comes to hungary, though, sorry to turkey. that's a bit of a different matter. because already, when the ratification process was being discussed, turkey came with a wish list to these 2 countries and said they want to see an extra dieting, certain political opposition of figures from these 2 countries to turkey. also, the resuming of arms deals with turkey asked sort of, you know, step stones for ratification. now in

because of the hungary, rigor government. first of all, seeing a things of their own people when they, when and when it comes to sanctions or anti russian pre ukrainian or measures a well. and if europe in countries would think of their own interests and the policy would be different. but we are seeing a policy which is are in taking of the american interests. and if countries like turkey and hungry don't follow that. they will be criticized and they are not. i'm a full ls anymore. so this shows that we are talking about double standards about her. yeah, a misuse of the world. democracy ah, bethel offense, chief presidential legal council has suggested overturning the countries and on nuclear weapons. calling it the most unwonted provision of the constitution. in the modern world to day, a small country can protect itself against the superpowers. if they have nuclear weapon, if we can afford it, we should also have nuclear weapons. so our people will not be tremble. the bone, let alone made a popular slave of other countries.

, we call it hungary. know this country as hungary, well, in different countries, in different connotations, it comes from hungary and they call themselves modi rorsak, i.e. magyars, magyars. we even know this name among the people in other countries, for sure, i wanted to say another example that is even more famous in the world, this is an example of the nugrafin peoples, this is typical, by the way, and another example is the baltic baltic sea and around the names of those countries what names do we call them, they are very often different names , that's why in fact russia, which has enslaved the largest number of countess peoples, is nervous from a legal and legal point of view, because they understand that it can end there such a game of banter can go into the legal realm ukraine will start calling russia moscow it will go it will go as a trend and they will call themselves russians and the world will start calling them well in various interpretations of the european mass media it will begin to appear

andriyu , not about the east, but about the west, hungary has confirmed that petros yar, their foreign minister has blocked this joint statement of the eu member states regarding the warrant issued for putin from the court in the hague meanwhile, the chancellor of germany proposes to abandon unanimity because this baba-yaga hungary is not the first time against and not the first time putting sticks in the wheels, will the european union manage to carry out these reforms so that decisions are not taken unanimously like this it was earlier, and reforms should actually be carried out not only in the european union , including in the united nations, and the system that worked or started to work , which was established in the 50s, 60s, and 70s of the last century, it is already outdated and in in principle, there is such a concept as unanimity, i.e. when 100% of all members of this or that organization must vote and only then will there be a certain decision, this is fundamentally a wrong position. politicians who are for and who are against, and i think that today the european union and th

that is, the systemic nature of this resistance, even if you recall the same hungary as its decisionsd behavior, it was much more vertical , that is, imagine earlier that hungary did not oppose military aid it’s difficult at the moment. it’s already, well, not in this form, it all looks the same . by the way, it’s not a member of the european union, but serbia is a candidate for it. yes, that’s a very revealing moment, but unfortunately, it is. unfortunately, i think that uh, hmm, there are many people with this inertia of thinking. how come, russia is forever a factor, a factor, and they will be able to give it up only when they really see that russia has ceased to be a factor now, in principle, hmm, such bells and whistles a lot, including solutions of the international criminal court against the president of the russian federation, that is, the world is falling apart. by the way, it is a very revealing moment that in moscow , except for the khan, a criminal case was opened before this, declaring that this decision is worthless and does not amount to anything, so here it is. so, i t

and what about hungary? i put that to the w's, terry shop in brussels. all those things are important now that the biggest obstacle, what was believed to be the biggest obstacle turkey's disapproval of both finish and swedish membership, is now unblocked for finland. it will move quickly for helsinki. so president air to one to day said he would like to see this ratified by the turkish parliament before elections in turkey. in may, hungary has said it will also prove within the next month or 2, they keep changing the days. so i hesitate to believe exactly which day hungary will ratify, they had said they would do it before christmas. but in any case, this is due to happen within the next couple of months, and then it will move very quickly, president nina. so he said he would like to wrap it up on their side before the next parliament is electric, but that's the 1st week of april. so yeah, we're not exactly sure how the timeline to go, but it will move quickly. now this really is a tale of 2 countries, isn't it? we're talking about finland and we also ha
