again, sorry, fuji's or asylum seekers coming into europe. and on the other hand, neighboring countries such as turkey, where they won their 2. bo passmore migration flows towards europe. and because number one, they want to elevate their own problem button number 2, they can use, it is migration flows as a negotiating directed against some more financial compensation from europe. and so basically we end up having a big number of people caught in the middle between iraq and a hard place where they're trying to cross the border. and they're being deborah encouraged or helped to cross the border. so what i'm song was on the little chap is at some concern, but i also a lot of anti migrant thoughts right now. maybe mirroring what is happening in europe and he put some ideas and thoughts team. can me help me out with this one? how miss us, what right or legal case the country is invoke when accused of pushing back my rights. i think so far and number of them i've been a been denying them. i think i've been denying it and, and i think this is why t

central europe, where war and armed conflicts have become unthinkable. so nobody thinks about it. a region where you have had countries, the baltic states, poland, romania converge and ketchup economically at a rapid pace. and the region that borders have become invisible. now that's where the western balkans wants to join. the european union wants stability and peace in the region as well. but some of the your opinion are making every thing in recent years to slow down the actual process. and that has led to a very deep crisis of credibility for these a, these accession negotiations, which i should say only have started with 2 of the 6 countries. the other 4 are not even engaged in talks at the moment. what, why this reluctance among some members of the e u. why does the e want to keep a balkan nations happy by offering them economic support, but not eager to offer full membership of the i think we have a, at a very clear position by some governments which say that the e itself has to sort of internal problems before it can hold all the credible prom is

yes, we do have a conclusions on europe's energy crisis. it was one of the main topics on the agenda, even though talks were overshadowed by poland leaders, very concerned in europe over rising natural gas prices, those gas prices that have been a soaring, fueled in parts by the fact that so many countries across europe, of course, have been coming out of long looked downs. that means that demand has absolutely serge for energy, but governments have been trying to look at ways that they can shield their people, their populations against these rising prices, particularly as we are going into the winter months here. now what the commission is recommending is that the member states do things like cut taxes off their energy bills, put forward a financial assistance for poor households. as the recommendations were actually made a week ago by the commission, the commission says that those recommendations must be upheld, but it will also look at the wider picture of the gas and energy market in europe. perhaps looking at making some reforms in the

we need more geo political thinking in europe. i looked at the state of in address of the head of the european commission, which said that she would make it a european geopolitical commission. and it's not. i mean, she mentioned joe politics once, and that was in regard to coven. so i think there's a real lack of looking at the bigger picture and you geo politics. and the more that russia and china coordinate and work together, the more europeans really have to see that russia and china are in the same basket . and i think. ringback that with the next nato strategy, we're going to really see that genest oldenburg has been hinting very loudly that this is what's going to be in it. and after the, when president biden was in brussels and they had signed the news, nato communicate and became quite clear that china, which was only mentioned once before, appeared many, many times are documents a link which has given many people an indication that this could perhaps be dominating the agenda of the doctrine of nato for the, for the years
