new research from the international rescue committee claims eu states have consistently neglected afghanr that reach europe. the report claims the bloc took in just 271 vulnerable afghans under resettlement programmes last year. it says other programs to bring people into the eu have also underperformed, while neighbouring countries it's calling on eu states to expand their refugee resettlement and rehome tens of thousands more afghans in the coming years. before we go, jordan is gearing up before we go, jordan is gearing up for a grand royal wedding. sorry, actually, we are going back to our initial story on afghanistan. 271 people at risk in 2022... the un has identified 270,000 vulnerable and at risk, and now among the 1.6 million people in neighbouring countries, mainly pakistan and iran, and we think that there is a failure of the system as it is in place. we see also very important pushback and complication on the administrative side for afghan people, asylum seekers, to access this scheme. and to access the eu even when they are near to the border. we see for example that 40% of t

rescue and relief eforts, we turn to ewan watson. he's the head of communications at the international committee of the red cross, he joins me from genevak you for being with us. how is the red cross assisting with the ongoing rescue and relief efforts across southern ukraine? what are you hearing from your partners on the ground? ewan: our partners, the ukrainian red cross, are doing incredible work right now. on day one they already managed to evacuate 800 people including approximately 60 people with low or absolutely no mobility. you have to remember that in this flood stricken area, this was already an area devastated by fighting. many people have fled. many of the people that remain are people that were sick, too old, who cannot really go anywhere. so they were desperately vulnerable already before the dam was destroyed, and here we are with yet another tragedy on our hands. what we have been focusing on through our partners in the ukrainian red cross is really to move people to a degree of safety. long shocked by the rapidity of the rising water. it is obviously extremely dangerous with landmines floating around with the possibil

committee on international affairs federation council a. today we had a conversation, a little earlier, we recorded it in a rescue, and in australia, our messengerlia, uh, with alexei pavlovsky, i suggest listening to this conversation, because it is very interesting from the point of view of how distant australia sees this situation in ukraine what going on in this country? alexey viktorovich hello, thank you for taking the time for us. the first question i would like to ask is the fact that australia once again allocates money to help the kiev regime, there we are talking about $ 110 million, we are also talking about the allocation of armored vehicles, but then, uh, the australian government, for some reason, decided not to supply it. please explain here what is going on in this issue? hello alexander, thank you for inviting me. and here on the question of hmm about the next package. uh, military assistance to ukraine, it would be more accurate to formulate the armored vehicles in the package as 28 m113 armored personnel carriers are quite old, in fact, from the time vietnam war. the kiev regime strongly demanded from australia another light
