Being named the happiest on the planet for the 7th straight. Yeah, the menu group is making them good to have you with us. Russian Authorities Say that evacuating families from some areas along the ukrainian border. Also what local officials called selling attacks by keeps forces footage released by the government of belgrade through social media shows destroyed vehicles um damage buildings. In addition to the evacuations, Officials Say schools will close at least of the holidays, while universities will hold. Cloth is remote they, they also said a buffer zone would be created to protect civilians. Again, strikes and cross border rates in the area of this map shows belgrade, close to the border with ukraine, which is hosted mt kremlin. Russian fighters is launched cross border res, us president , automated foods and said russia must control the safety of its residence in the regions affected by the war veteran is that they should just be should the primary task is to ensure security. There are different ways they are not easy, but we will do it. I can use no more than what we did. Of course, we can respond to the list of the same with the exact same thing. You my 0 striking civilian infrastructure and all of the similar targets that the enemy is joining us just. And they dont use Eastern Europe as a roman. It going to unco is with me in this to get some more on the story. Hi, roman, now its very difficult to obtain independent and verified information from this border region. So tell us, what are you hearing about the situation that . Well, most a we are hearing from russian states, media, russian officials, as before, i just said the situation is not quite clear. But on the other hand, there is a lot of footage. And um, 1st let me, um, let me give you some details about why i were talking about this. Um, the tax uh from the finance side on the russian origin of belgrade started a few days before the president ial election in russia. And present pushing charlton ties to downplayed a saying that they are trying to disrupt elections, but they are continuing. And there is no end in sight at the moment and it looks like its the biggest wave of such attacks. Seems the russian invasion in february 22. What is actually happening . Were seeing that no just drawing a tax weve seen in the past months some years. Um. But also reports about artillery attacks multiple being a rocket launchers, which is not very precise targeting um, the plans some of some of the Critical Infrastructure like power stations and the russian anti Aircraft Systems are trying to shut down those muscles. And of course, the debrief falling on cars on peoples homes. So the pictures that we are not seeing from the origin of bells, or id very much remind the pictures that you brain to see every day for over 2 years. And this is the 1st time, and this is probably, i think, which is, which is very, very important. The 1st time that a russian read in a fresh off profile, not the occupied territories, but the rush of proper is leaving. Um, once as ukraine has, it has been leading through for over 22 years, once again, 2 years with much more casualties. Okay. So just the fact the russian authorities on now evacuating people from belgrade mean that they, you know, consider these, these attacks to be more dangerous, more serious then before. Yes, of course, it looks like it is, um, the president boynton is irritated. And he, he showed that he actually didnt even want to speak about it on an occasion when he was meeting his supporters in the kremlin, thanking them for the simple, what do you are . So it was supposed to be an official ceremony, or they were supposed to be celebrating the most was supposed to be a very jolly, but he had to talk about balder. Because of the very points we are having from the we are hearing from the a very dramatic People Killed nearly every day russians. And this is something that he had to address. So he looks like hes kind of helpless. Hes waging this war for over 2 years. But hes not able to protect his own citizens. And we also have to keep in mind that at the same time, the russian army is continuing its advance on the ukraine and forces in the east on the occupied territories. The direction of a trying have, have accumulated a very large force in the targeting footage and just over the boulder trying to retake territories, a russia has lost in deal with him of 22. Okay. And the person is saying that he will respond to these attacks on on belgrade. How is he likely to respond . Well, he has a few options if he could to try and hate the ukrainian civilian targets or intensify because hes doing that every day. We have to remember that it would try and intensify attacks on civilian infrastructure in other regions of ukraine, teakwood intensive, a tax on the ukrainian cisco park, if the 2nd largest cd, which is just across the board, about 40 kilometers from the boulder. But it is already on the right tech every day, so theres not much you can do there into a medium to. Im heygood assemble logic for us station it in the builder region and maybe go in. This is what you hated at. When he said that you would be probably trying to establish kind of a cold on sunday to in ukraine. So going in, nobody knows for how deep into your crack in territory. Just a quick last question. Roman is this slicing around belle grove, impacting other parts of the war. This is actually the hope of ukraine and the forces that are fighting on the okay inside the russian citizens who joined the opinion on a hen who are now fighting in the bell guard region. So the hope is that they ukraine and them, they could force russia to um, to pull back some of its resources that dont know attacking easton ukraine. So this will probably, this is probably the idea behind those attacks on the key of side just door to weaken the russian army. That is trying to Gain Momentum and to continue moving westwards and an endanger ukraine mc just along the border. First of all, the city of hockey, dw is raymond on turn k. Thank you so much for that. Of the european union, the pay is set to use frozen russian assets to fund the purchase of all the ukraine. The use for and policy chief has a burrell says he will present the plan to the blocks leaders this week. The draft plan would see 90 percent of the revenues from seized. The russian assets being funneled towards a new run weapons fund for ukraine. Of nearly 300000000 years worth of foreign currency, gold and bones belonging to the Russian Central Bank let frozen by the rest. Following rochester invasion of ukraine. 70 percent of debt is had by the belgium based institution, euro clear. Over the next 4 years. The profit generated by frozen russian state assets is expected to be worth up to 27000000000 yours. So far, the e u. Member states have most of the agreed to spend this money on ukraine, but the rest of the funds should be used for humanitarian infrastructure or military purposes is as yet on decide to use for them policy chief concept, but as these potential for veterans purchases. So after the discussion today, ive seen that there is a strong support, a grass from member to state that wants to have more details. But there is a thing, a strong support to take the revenues that we have for profit. And to use it to support you create how maybe 33. 00 incremented or social 0, b and b facility and also to support the development of the Ukrainian Defense industry. But its not boring or the commission who decides that it depends on the concept of Member States meeting, discharge date, and friday a corresponding christine language joins us now from brussels. So christine, these are the prophets from russian assets rather than the assets themselves. That will be used to help ukraine on that. I mean, are there any legal ops obstacles to this plan to thats right. And youll, weve got to make sure that that point is clear. Its not the assets themselves, but rather the proceeds or the interest that these assets have accrued since the time that they were seized. Now you are asking about, we need lots to close and there isnt really a definitive answer to that because some of the states, for example, still have questions and concerns around the legality of taking this particular step. But the commission has done its part in the sense that its really done a lot of consultations. But the idea of using this money from these frozen, frozen russian assets has been tested for a very long time here in brussels as a way of making russia pay for this invasion. And of course, the legal aspect of that was a big part of the conversation. So the Commission Said its consultations. Its gone to the European Central bank, for example, who had initial, who, who still has some reservations about making views of these proceeds. Whether or not all those questions have been exhausted and indeed onset remains to be seen. But for now the commission is confident of its plan. As to the principal of e. U. Member states agreed that they would be using these proceeds to help a crane. And now the commission has made its allocation to say, lets take 90 percent of those proceeds for the war if its and 10 percent for budget support for ukraine. Thats right. The Foreign Policy chief is suggesting 90 percent should go to a military fund. Do we know what Member States think about this . So we know that a number of them are. 7 in support of the idea, especially because of the situation that ukraine finds itself in now that dwindling resources to 5 tools that russian invasion, i have to remind you that the u. S. A. Congress is Still Holding up that ministry aid package. So there is really concerns about additional military aid for ukraine being urgently needed and not being available. So it Member States and support this idea. Say right now, this money needs to go to that because previous discussions were about using these proceeds to build ukraine to reconstruct, to ukraine of, to the will in, in recent days. Thats taken a shift there. Um, in the states who are uncomfortable with the idea of using this money to find the war. If its they think these are, these are states like hundreds of boxes. They think that this is essentially escalating this war. They would like to see the will coming to a point of negotiation rather than theyre not comfortable with the idea of using the proceeds for the war. If its so you need is going to sit somewhere. We dont expect that theyll necessarily take a full decision on this location by the commission, but theyll certainly open up the discussion and well get a bit of sense off with their head so as, as it pertains to this money and its usage for ukraine. Christine, thank you so much. Thats the w as christine blair, reporting from brussels. Uh okay, lets take a look now, some of the other stories of making headlines today. The us suck, sorry, stays home, sleep lincoln has arrived in saudi arabia. The folks aimed at securing a ceasefire between homos and israel. Us Officials Say he will travel to israel on friday.

Islands Prime Minister leo radco has announced his resignation, saying he would be leaving for both personal and political reasons. Broadcast said he was also questing. Is the leader of the ruling senior galle policy is to punch as follows. The failure of do a constitutional referenda earlier in march that veronica and his government had championed and police have arrested 6 people and rated the home of the 4 months spanish foot. Full federation, president luis ruby olives officials said ruby out as was not detained during the investigation into corruption and money laundering. The ex football boss is facing trial of kissing the spanish play, a jenny hmos. So without her consent. Following spains will come when in august is now in the us state of texas, a controversial Immigration Law has been put back on hold by a federal appeals court. This comes just hours off, so the Supreme Court had lifted a temporary stay that would allow local police to begin arresting anyone suspected of illegally entering the country. Challenges to the little all continuing. Republicans have accused the bite and administration of not taking action on immigration since last year, the republican governor of texas began sending new arrivals to all the cities around the u. S. On buses. Tens of thousands headed to denver, and the Central States has colorado. The w use Benjamin Alvarez group, i met people the doing what they can to accommodate the new arrivals located far from the us selves and bowed to denver was not directly impacted by a regular migration until 8 political. This has been changed that in may of 2023, the governor of texas correct abbot announced that he would start busing migrants to denver. And the 5th city that hes been targeted to raise awareness about the immigration problem to texas a spacing as a result. Tens of thousands of migrants arrives in colorado is capital city official said that in the policy of denver received low my vans per capita than any other major city outside texas. Many migrants ended up in and compliments on the street. Seeing the desperate situation. Andrea got involved, the mother of 3 started a Facebook Group called highland moms and neighbors that are attracted more than 7000 volunteers to help migrants. Like here in a Denver Church that houses migrants. Andrea would like to see governments and non profits with better resources and more experience doing the job they are expected to do. The problem is that because our immigration system doesnt work and there is no plan. So theyre opening the door to thousands and thousands and thousands of people who genuinely need help and who want to work and just not be dependent on anyone. Theyre not looking for handouts, i have to like force coats and choose on people. They wont work, they dont want, they werent able to pay for their own stuff. I say this a lot, and i mean it not disrespectfully, but on, honestly like whoever is in charge of immigration policy in this country. Its a step aside. Maybe well have a snack, cleaner room and let the moms do it like we 48 hours and this could be fixed. Denver has spent more than 36000000. 00, helping migrate its residence. A neighboring lake would say thats too much. Recently, hundreds of them gathered for a town hall meeting to raise concerns about over whelmed hospitals and infrastructure. The concern is that all of the neighboring municipalities were approached to help with the situation in denver. They want us all of us to take a role in housing and feeding and services. Um, people are reluctant to get engaged here, particularly when the city and when, when the government really is not asking how you feel about this. This needs to have public discussion and that had not happened. Denver may and mike johnstons office did not respond to interview requests. In february, the may announced temporary cards to some City Services to fund the immigration response, a decision that increased the already existing tensions. Now that conversation, im, that dynamic has created us versus them in denver, where the prior to that i didnt hear that. Prior to that i had tons of people wanting to help and stepping into that space of feeling the gap were government couldnt. Now that some of our wrecks Recreation Centers are closing, have limited hours, and our Motor Vehicle centers have limited hours. Yes, now im hearing like, well, what about us many fee of that . This increasingly politicized conversation with an upcoming president ial election, and a radicalized disclose on migration in the United States will only get more heated, pushing a fat, so many turn solution, the route of reach. I also a correspondent in washington dc, janelle dom alone, what role emigration policy will play in the upcoming Us Election Campaign . Well, its fair to say that immigration has always been a hard button topic here in the west. But with this looming president ial election, you can only expect for this discourse to become even more heated. You have the likes of former president donald trump, using increasingly dehumanizing rhetoric around migrants. He says that he thinks some of them arent human. He says that theyre poisoning the blood of the country. If elected the problem is has to put forward the biggest mass deportation efforts that the country has ever seen. He brings a bite in for what he calls and invasion, no bite and for his part has been trying to distinguish himself from trump on this migrant issue saying that he doesnt want to demonize migrant. Instead, what hes trying to do is highlight the stalled by part is and Border Security bill. Not bill that would have allocated 20000000000. 00 towards tighter border controls. But this of course was a bill that was blocked by house republicans, apparently at the behest of trump, who wants to campaign on the border issue. So why didnt, has been using this as evidence that the republicans arent really interested in solving this problem, that theyre only interested in playing political games. And so you have this back and forth and you can expect that back and forth to only become more inflamed. The closer we get to the president ial election, that was the ws, janelle, dom alone in washington. Now finland has been named the wells happiest nation for a 7th straight. Yeah, the u. N backed wells, happiness report looks at Life Satisfaction in 143 countries and territories across the globe. Denmark, sweden and iceland have also continued to tell the lead a board coming 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place. This year theres been a significant slide down the wrong kings for germany and the United States, mainly due to the gloomy outlook of young people. Oh, if youre looking for a good cheer, youll likely find it here. In finland, the worlds happiest nation for the 7th year. Youd be forgiven for thinking there must be something in the water. But researchers bridget dine, defends, own Life Satisfaction. As well as social support, health, life expectancy, freedom, generosity, and g d. P. Finished people homeless probably are happier because they can rely on a good institution. So meaning, well, function, governments, low level of corruptions and robust, but fear factors that fins have a great depreciation for. Well, i think i have, i have had the opportunity is to do what i want. I have a good education. I can rise my child in here quite safely. I think so that that is may be the most important thing for me. Right now. We all are for now a will for states that we have quite strong equality here, but the soft cool, something that for example, a car in the coming of the sun to run down. So i think this is something that we would really need to find to still keep such appreciation may be in short or supply in the United States and germany, which are among the happiest nations ranking, 23rd and 24th, respectively. Germany is also one of the countries in which older people are no happier than those under 13. Afghanistan is at the bottom of the table. I made a humanitarian crisis after the taliban regain control model, but goodwill remains universe. So the report find that in our post covered world acts of kindness are on the rise across the generations. Giving us all something to smile about. Front mantell arisen assistant professor at Alto University in finland and an expert on happiness and well being researched. I asked him earlier if he feels happy about finland being the happiest country in the world. I guess like that through the, i guess i see these people 1st time thats seen on the bus. The problem is that best nation fitness people are not happy actually never quite much saying that there must be something wrong with the survey because i guess like dependence people dont think of themselves as particularly happy bunch of people we have like this more melancholy. Why itself image and being happy as didnt phrase with that. Okay, but we heard in that report didnt weigh people saying, you know, i couldnt do everything that i want to do. We live in a well 1st stage. I can bring up my child here without worrying. So obviously theres a lot of factors in finland that seem to that seem to work and make people feel good. Yes, exactly, and im going like saying that its not that the government would make the citizens happy, but its more that the well functioning government is able to remove many sources of unhappiness. So it means that, you know, theres like less that theres not like more, extremely happy people and being lot, but theres less extreme the unhappy people in finland. And thats quite much do today. Well, function and easy to with this and that, and the government taking care of the citizens. Okay. How can we be sure that the old findings in this report of valid business goals . Many of the facts is the influence of happiness can, can very, can change in from day to day. Currently. I mean, you know, maybe youve slept well or your in love or whether youve missed the boss. I mean, how accurate is all of this . So i guess like of course, on the individual level, theres like this daily variation, but thats the point, the, because of that they like survey more than 1000 people in every country. So all of these individual variations balance each other out. And so that we get like this national average, which of course theres always going to be, its not going to be perfect as article thats going to be some margin of error. But still, it gives a pretty accurate picture of how well the people are doing in a certain conference. Ok, now one point the report does make is that young people in the us and in western europe are increasingly unhappy. Whereas in other parts of the world, the opposite is true. So how would you explain those regional differences . Oh yeah, thats, thats an interesting finding. Im it, my been case. Ive been some many countries like the future looks better than it used to be. If you feel like, you know, the young people feel that theyre going to have a better life than their parents. But i guessing that us and when a west of european countries, thats not the case for the young people, they actually feel that they might not have like as good outlook as their parents used to have. And that might let them bring down their level of Life Satisfaction. Mm hm. Do you think the peoples happiness should be taken into account more in, in politics, in the same way as economic full costs, for example, unemployment. If that goes yes, i think so, because like what is the ultimate point of how the governments are having like societies . I think one key point is that they try to make their lives up to citizens better. And if he wants to know whether to ever succeed successful in that database because be measuring how well the 50 tests are doing in a concrete. So in that sense, i think that wellbeing index is, and happiness reports might be like even more important than the academic indicators. Because economics or its all based, just an instrument for Something Else like kind of happened as is kind of the goal at the economics is trying to bring forward. Okay . And id like to ask you, i mean, is the one particular point made in this new happened this report that gives you particular hope for the future. I liked the fact that this helping other people, it seems to be quite robust thing on something that is taking place over the world. Because that reminds us that despite all the differentiates, the human beings are into and white, helpful, and protocol and caring people who like like to help other people. So lets hope that thats something that we take away from the 3 part. Sounds good to me, frank montela, philosopher from the Alto University in finland.
