Im british bennett, jerry, welcome. Slovak has Prime Minister robert feet. So is reportedly in a stable, but still very serious condition off to an assassination attempt. He will struck multiple times after leaving a political meeting. So lock as president , call it a brutal and reckless attack. Otherwise, he does have condemned the shooting, a suspect was arrested at the scene. 5 shots ring out and the gunman is tackled just seconds later, the Prime Minister is carried by the arms to a car and rushed away. The security personnel stayed behind, pinning the suspect to the ground speed. So supporters look on and for it sounded like cannon buyer to me. I was shocked. Whats going on . And as i saw him fall, i realized that this probably wasnt a joke to the interior ministry. So the attack was likely politically motivated and brought his love of this, the walk in president condemned the shooting this central savannah. Should i am shocked. We are all shocked by the terrible and vicious attack on Prime Minister robert beat. So you get a physical attack on the Prime Minister is 1st of all an attack on a person, but it is also an attack on democracy. Ok, cool. But cannot see the heat for rhetoric we see in society. You know, the sleep state for action is misspelled, please stop it, but you cannot explain to them the same boss with a stomach support poured in from european leaders. You Commission President worth of the fund a lion wrote on the social media site x such acts of violence have no place in our society and undermine democracy. Are most precious common good. The white house reacted as well. President joe biden said in the tweet we condemned this horrific act of violence. Our embassy is in close touch with the government as a vakio and ready to assist robert feats. So as long been a controversial figure in slovakia as politics often described as populist or left wing nationalist e as opposed immigration and threatened to withdraw support for ukraine in its defense against russian. Yeah, judy from on this, im now drawn by pharma. So back in 5 minutes to edward a guy, he wasnt office from april 2021 on to may 2023, and the during the stall from brought his love. I welcome mr. Hagar. What is your reaction to this assassination attempt to thank you very much. Of course i absolutely come down this uh a tech on uh, our brand new brand new struggling feature, and i wish him a quick recovery. Uh, i think the violence is no room in the Democratic Society and then we have to go back to the roots of democracy and freedom for the good of our citizens. So therefore, i very much agree with the, with the board. So we might have president that we should stop any violence and basically be of the examples and role models of a peaceful talk. And because they just needed that in democracy, its about of, of ideas and solutions, not a battle of people. And theres no room for any violence and the best way to go to the official confirmation as to the motive of the suspected attack. Uh, but can you speak to the, the political in bottom and that currently exists in the country. I mean, how have things reach such a point that a sitting Prime Minister is attacked as well . We see the molars nation all around the world that say, i know of course as a neighboring country to crane, where there is a ongoing war, a blood tag, or reference to the ration on those 2000000 square needed to list. And we are unable to country, so of course, this effect of the budget, but right now as well. But of the trilogy the, we currently facing out to all these crises. So we see more and more than the bullying issue to step into more and more violent and aggressive language. And i think we need to stop with this. We need to really go back to, to, as i said, to the babel solutions and the value of people and, and be very careful because uh, the, the citizens of sir, the action of the public figures and they see aggression going on them then. Uh, its easy for them to follow, so therefore, i think this is a moment where we have to turn around and go back and show as i said, the leadership in showing that we can discuss in the, you know, respect about the solutions and know that they can enjoy the youre talking of solutions. Have you seen such Solutions Coming in recent months in the, in so that you, you know, actually the baby was, uh, was very dirty. I mean, we have, we just have over the president ial election and we saw that the president ial election was also very dirty so, so therefore im saying that the board is ation at the moment. Um, ill just use the back of up to see the around the europe and i think around the world is still growing, but the more ones like this or this is the moment that where we asked to kind of stuff and review the action and, and just change it because this is not the way it should be going on. You know, you wrote on the platform for me to call a strip to on the 19th of march that the president ial election in stock. Yeah, well decide if the country stays in the western club. You want of a gold, devastating effect. If be tough and agree me becomes president. Why did you write that . Well, we see the rhetorics of, uh, covered, and governmental visual, and be there for like are you uh, whats the speaker of the house . And then moment to get to resign up to be becoming elected as a, as president. And we saw how they are bullying and how they were pulling somebody. Yeah. Basically and of Foreign Policy to the words gramlin boulevard mosca. So therefore i see a big danger and is, i just hope that all these events will have a little help or some of them to review their action. And it will support our stability in the west and the nato. And yeah, you, so when youre talking about political rhetoric and apologize and bottom on a national voc, uh, are you saying that most of it is coming from the current government . Im no, i dont want to say anything of this. I mean, people are much where its like everybody, Everybody Knows who says what. So because especially from the public figure, so hes not, im all mind to pointing fingers at anybody. Actually. Thats not the way to do it because he was the point fingers at each other a showing at a bad example to do that decision as citizens. So at this moment, i think we need to really sit together and, and just discuss how were gonna be role models for our citizens, of a respectful debate about solutions for our country in education, health care, security and also other of roles, economic growth, all the era that are needed and its a lot. Yeah. We are facing a lot of challenges, but i think also in general that you, you rely, leave it there for the moment. But thanks so much for joining us to their follow. Still our Prime Minister and to add a guy from brothers level. Thank you. So thank you. By mean by the leaders was already the leaders of russia and china have signed a joint statement to deepen the Strategic Partnership at a set of many, hosted by chinese president eugene being in badging. President vladimir, to put in hand to russia, spend the name of ties with china as a stabilizing factor for the. Well, it is putting the 1st phone visit since he secured another 6 year term as president in march. The adults photo shoots and things are on a field trip last week. Wherever us to meet us, we decided to support for russia. I meant the war in ukraine. John is probably been pressed by, is following the story from badging. I. Austin, what this deepened to cooperation between russia and china, could mean impractical toms to yeah, i mean at least we have have a guess um, so they just gave a press conference seating thing and letting the 14 and before that press conference began, they were signing this um yeah, very important document of defending the comprehensive Strategic Partnership and that was then followed by 10 further documents that stretched from cooperation and infrastructure into a m to information cooperation to um and etc, and security. So this pretty a whole right wide range of issues. We dont know all the details yet, but i mean, we could guess from the press conference at the tone, its really extremely frenzy. It was a constant appraising of each other. For example, the seating thing said that the electro ties between china and russia are based on what you to a respect you to support and to both sides expressive is to enhance into the that cooperation. So i would say there were no critical undertones that i ever just said, and it was really all the price between china and russia. And i stay with us, probably been theres a lot more to discuss. But 1st, lets take a closer look at how try not rush out of nations have changed. In recent years of last months chinese president , she, jim ping made russia his 1st overseas trip up to securing a 3rd, a key to moscow, a symbolic choice of to use a pundum akira isolation voting. Now, just to recap to his face, the new gratian is, russian president , Vladimir Putin is returning beyond making badging the 1st 4 and trip of seats. Those countries are interested in projecting unity in the face of what they say is a global order dominated by the united states. When russias foreign minister such a life rove was engaging last month, he hailed what most going badging careers and no limits punishing us. No more than once, alida is president , putin and president changing, paying like have stressed at the determination of russia and china to counter attempts to slow down the formation of a multi polar world to slow down the long overdue processes of democratization and justice. Which is that is pretty good at least as they celebrate 75 years of different logic ties. China is very much the senior partner. The 2 sides of the military exchange is increasing launched his invasion of ukraine more than 2 years ago. And even more importantly, some must go trade ties between the 2 balloons. Providing russia in economic lifeline a mid sweeping International Sanctions might be in response. West going to be does have mostly against providing must go with supporting exports invasion. You may get us some have even us, she to rain in boots. It we called on china to use all its influence on russia to end russias will of aggression against ukraine. But chinas lead just as long as she brushed off the criticism and ignore the request, was fine really you . We oppose using the ukraine crisis, the cost, blame me, a 3rd country and inside a new cold war sun dont shine like done soon. So let us use your opinions argument for your team share, just staying so us global leadership, me but with most go increasingly isolated, diplomatically under the economy. You launch the prop top by badging both know that no limits. Partnership is no longer one between equals 5 and great best and with us from badging. 5 down with the russian army attacking an eastern ukraine. Ill be expecting Chinese Support for russia to increase. Well, i mean it right now this already a lot of in direct support from china towards the pool teams. Um yeah, building up the military base. Um, i mean, not to use products that you know, have been identified by the European Union for example. They come from china to russia, either directly through exports or through re exports. And this only salt far that china can go without risk getting risk of, you know, being further early in the united uh, with the west. I mean already now it is not very credible, but a china claims to state namely that it is in utah potty and that it does not know that its a peace loving nation that wants to support negotiations. But i think fits what a seating thing wants to state and i think his support to rush up with always stop short of sending weapons. Why . Because i mean, the Chinese Companies are also very afraid of, you know, getting sanctioned by the west. And so they have to keep a balance of this balance and also about the need a new nation with diverse chinese beds, a huge and being was just in a drawer of what does this partnership with russia mean inclination to try and alistar as with the e which once she took a tale that support for russia, so within the European Union, you have differing opinions. I mean, i just want to mention that for example, hungary, i but um, you know, if you look at the big a nations, lets say a front in germany, they are increasingly frustrated with them. The ties between a china and russia, a crowd was just, you know, talking to seats in ping and also a shorts was visiting a bad thing and also talk to seats and ping and both made a strong point. The thing that we dont want that you support a rush out by sending to use goods and so they will look very closely whats happening here between the people to and, and see. And i think in the long run it will have a strong consequences. But the sofa, i must say that the European Union was relatively patient. They were always um, you know, a very cautious when it comes to implementing, for example, the economic decisions against china. Why . Because of the dependency is also rather strong. And so i would say right now the biggest um, sanctions were definitely by the u. S. A sofa and uh for the European Union. I think the biggest loss was also a reputation damage because china is definitely seen with different eyes for nowadays, right. Really over there for the moment, jonathan had been pressed by engaging thanks so much. A quick look. Now, what else is happening in the rest of the world around a 100 filippino actors have sailed out to resupply fishermen in the 5th. The dispute in the area of the south china sea, like on by hand about food and fuel, now discover a show where filipino fishermen have been located by chinese coast guard ships. China claims much of the c as instead of treat, despite the Un Court Ruling against states in 2014. If you want to get up a new state to come. The most striking coalition in decades is about to take part in the netherlands with the policy of 25. 00, but pay it. When does dominating the government, we ask what changes of the country expects . The ukraine fast by present but of the means and then ski has canceled all of his upcoming trips. As russia intensifies the tides on the Eastern Region of how to keep the new offensive begin last week, and one of the most significant border incursions since the war began. The town of both johns co seen, some of the most intense about those and almost a pause and people had been forced to flee their homes to residence. Reluctantly, leaving po chomsky as fighting intensifies many arrive on the accusation point on foot. Its become hotter to drive out of the city with damaged roads and fighting on some straits with the most that we are here evacuating peoples been helping everyone. What the situation of a chance goes extremely difficult is why up was the soon of the enemy is holding decisions on the streets. So please evacuate it. What were you helping . Everyone where seemed the working on the spot and i mean together we will win the great info. Can you . Nearly 8000 people have been evacuated since friday. Ukraine is trying to hold the line. Brushes Defense Ministry claims to have captured a handful of villages. Ukrainian president below them is the landscape. Everything must be done to ensure that the russian offensive does not succeed sort of gives you know how shes region or defense continues in the areas near the border on the city and for chance. Over the course of the day, lets say our defense into you are the forces of managed to partially stabilize the situation. That was the occupier who entered in the hot heat range. And the light is being destroyed. With all available means, see mazda possible modem issue. The town of ocean skids around 75 kilometers from keith. Ukraine speaking lot just says he keeps his rushes. The cell does not present an imminent threat to the city, which is home to 1300000 people. And i know i spoke to the deputies, they kind of late in keys and asked him whether ukraine can hold the line. One of the rest we are hearing from the great notary that they say they have slowed down that russian advance near the border north, east of hardship. I think in that part of the country, it is less about the kind of industrial kind of positional welfare that weve seen in the east of the country and dont best way it really is about having enough people in the trenches and having enough thoughts of the resales to kind of return fire. This is for a lot more reminiscent of the 1st week of the war where you basically have Russian Troops in coming in on foot. And its more a kind of game of hide and seek finding where those troops off and trying to kind of control and kind of contain that russian develop. So i think its less about kind of results has been now theres certainly more question of the quality of the ukranian latree responses, especially in the 1st few days will this. But certainly there is expectation that maybe the russians and a couple of days time could take the city of, of chance. They all as we believe on the kind of northern outskirts. So its still very difficult to get a really comprehensive picture. Access is very patchy for journalists and even into that phone connection is very poor. And understandably so often enough. It turns out that the village is that a so to be under our control on to me all the way around. So it is still, you know, almost a week into this border incursion and pretty at unclear picture. And how does the opening of this new front affecting moran around the country . Well certainly that has been a lot of criticism for the ministry and also Political Leadership here in the country that this was possible. These were regions that were re taken by ukraine in the autumn of prince 22. They had a lot of time to prepare and the ukrainians were seeing images of russian soldiers coming in on foot, seemingly at no entry plus bell minds. They getting the way, seemingly pretty easy for them to come in. Now we have had a response from the government. They have said that basically was impossible to build a kind of deep, concrete defenses directly in that border zone because of constant russian shilling from across the border. They say that they were mines is to prevent tanks coming in. Thats why the russians had to come in on foot. And that the but defense is what basically 1520. 00 comes for the in from the board of those. A rare is the russians have yet to reach the still, that isnt really causing a lot of ice with many ukrainians. Weve seen a change in military leadership that because of that for initial response. And theres also the what a question of c or western weapons right . Now basically by forbidding ukraine from using weston produce weapons to attack commercial proper rather than russian or by ukraine. They basically, he encourage russia to do these attacks from russian territory, because ukraine is not able to use high mazda, rather your west and produced systems to attack the russian logistics just be on the board. So theres a lot of pressure now from ukraine to get west and allies to reverse that position. The okay, has already moved away from that position. And theres a lot of attention to the blinking who is there and key of who seems to be yeah, moving towards changing that position. But for now, the credit is still the vertical position that we live at the moment i just want to nick on lane keep thanks so much the netherlands look set to have its most right. Been government in decades after the d was reached between full parties following months of negotiations. The announcement was made by anti islam politician fab windows, whose body for freedom receives the most votes in last novembers elections. Its still not clear hoping to become Prime Minister. Windows is hotline news on his law meant he had to step aside from taking that role. So a dealer could be the same on or just as an assistant professor at lived in university in the netherlands. I asked him how big of a shakeup this coordination is for dodge politics. So thats a very big jacob in the sense that the bbc and, and other stuff is being a part of government. That solar 8 of the governments between 20102012. So in that period, it had a role in government, but now it has a leading role in the new government. They will see it also in the position of the government. You can also see the emphasis on issues in the new quote. It shouldnt be me. In particular, migration is discussing a lot of detail, even though it is just what its supposed to be. A, an agreement that is on the Broad Strokes of policies when it comes to integration is really detailed, which shows the focus of this party on limiting migration to the. Lets talk about that agenda because windows has argued for some radical policies in his manifesto, such as a ban on his stomach, schools mosque, some of the quote on and a vote on leaving the europe in union. Will he be able to impact his agenda . So those issues were all show very early in the Coalition Negotiation process, the agreement was made to only issue policies that are constitutional. And the policies you mentioned clearly are not constitutional because they would interfere with the freedom of religion. And therefore those have not been included negotiation agreements which very strongly focuses on limiting migration instead of dealing with integration and in great detail the way it comes to referendum on you membership, will this himself is even in the last months we do shift disposition on that it has no signal, it is new manifesto for your being part of inflections. Theres party ones that has to remain in part of the union. Even though earlier you promised you would leave the, you know, so that you can even see his own position a shift to during these negotiations. So what would be the focus of this new government . What does the agenda that this government has . So there are 3 key issues in the college an agreement. The 1st is limiting migration. Um, those are all forms of migration and it gets name of migration. Refugees, uh, study migration. Uh, the 2nd uh, key issue is dealing with the prices of another ones house in terms of the problems with nitrogen pollution discrimination really wants to reopen negotiations with brussels regarding the rules for an agent reservation. And then once a day in order to deal with this issue, it is not likely that will happen and but its a major issue as well. And the 3rd issue, police are going to negotiate is ensuring that people have a basic standard of living. Do this is where to go and it shouldnt be me, it is less detail than all the issues and that, but its clear that it uh that some of the parties went to lower the they agreed on lowering taxes in order for me to have a larger spend level, but as we understand a window says he wont be Prime Minister, so who might have the government we can all speculate about that and thats a favorite pastime of political scientists. Now we really do not know. There are some names that are, that are going around. It is be that will just been up to confront minister is also unlikely that another person from his party will become Prime Minister. So it is likely to have a permanent use independent of political parties, names going without the uh, people who are in fulton or college negotiations like mr. Plus tech to let one of the 4 runs formation dogs. And as a former minister for labor party. But its very unclear who will become part minister has no sort of certainty around them. Professor, the netherlands is one of a number of European Countries seeing a rise in support for the far right. Why is there so much support for windows to so this is both worlds and, and those can really be explained by the dynamics of the coalition of the Election Campaign last year. And that is because the netherlands has the majority of folders who would like to see migration limited, but they used to split their code basically between the radical right and the center, right . And because the center right is indicated that they would never govern with a radical right since 2012 that made it the, the radical right other attract the discrimination in this Election Campaign. Well, the, the, the centralized, liberal party said that they were open to a, to a government with deliberate with the bbc. And therefore they made it an option for voters to vote for b, which it is a large number. So in many ways, the positioning of the center, right, both in opening the door to realtors and focusing the Marketing Campaign on migration. Really open the door for will to speak to the center. Right. Is the name of the moment the same on which is from the university. Thanks so much for joining us today. A quick look now at the top started that we are following for you this uh, so boxes Prime Minister robot feet so is reported to be in a stable condition, often undergoing surgery following an assassination attempt.
