  1. All those countries they went through, each one of them a signatory to the UNHCR convention on asylum. Each one of them capable of taking them if they are seeking asylum. And yet, they continue on to France specifically. I wonder why that is...

  2. Next you'll hear from Germany and France that Austria and Serbia aren't showing "the values of the EU" whatever the heck that means

  3. I don't understand what the upset here is. So a school can't teach content related to sexuality, how does that harm anyone who is homosexual? Genuine question. Seems to me that if you're homosexual, you're homosexual regardless of what you do or don't learn at school. Their families will still react the same. What actually changed here? This law is just around content and minors, right?

  4. Why is he allowed to cover his face on a courtroom? That's not justice. Yes, it will ruin his life and bring great shame to his family to have his face exposed. Probably should have thought of that before he committed such a cowardly act.

  5. If the system worked they'd be deported for showing antisocial behaviour.

  6. lol they're motivation is not because they simply must speak English. What an absurd proposition to make. Their motivation is money and benefits, pure and simple.

  7. Non-binding. In other words, it's meaningless and whether a country boycotts or not has nothing to do with this resolution. Meanwhile "The UK who are not in the bloc at the moment " Pretty sure it's not a temporary thing.

  8. They're attacking because he has his phone out with the camera on, and they don't want to be recorded in the background. So naturally, they follow him...

  9. So apparently his daughter just travels around to... places? To give speeches to ... people? What these places are, who these people are, how she can afford so much travel, the purpose of these speeches and why all this travel is allowed during a pandemic are all unclear. What exactly is this prize being accepted? Is it just a plaque, or is there more to it? Do they just award it to whoever is meeting their political ends in the moment? What's the criteria for the award?

  10. All those celebrating this death are absolutely disgusting. There's no "Karma". The man drew a picture ffs, no one cares about your sensitivity or your imaginary friends.

  11. Which people are fighting back? All I see is some politicians making a short term strategic alliance to give themselves some kind of chance at holding any power. The chances they are successfully are limited. Orban has the popular support

  12.  @0warfighter0  That doesn't seem like a valid argument for schools to teach sexuality. If someone you know is homosexual you'll naturally learn about it because you know and love that person. Not teaching sexuality in schools doesn't stop anyone from independently learning about homosexuality. Sounds like what you're saying is it doesn't actually harm homosexuals.

  13. I wonder what it will take to make Afghans brave enough to fight back and expel the Taliban. If ordinary Afghans unite, they've got the numbers to win.

  16. What I'm hearing in this video is that the German logistics sector was having the same problems as the UK, but only the UK was covered in a way that made out it had something to do with brexit when indeed it did not. What I'm also hearing is that far from the current problem being about fuel prices, Polish drivers have left Germany to return home to Poland because there's now more work there. I'm also hearing there's a dependency on cheap mass labour from poorer member states in richer member states across the EU at the expense of local economies. Then finally that a combination of factors (mostly driven by poor policy in yankville) are showing as growing inflation across the world, which is having a negative impact on growth in the EU market. I'm hearing a connection to inflation being drawn to the ridiculous sanctions on Russia. Such a connection does exist but it is far from an exclusive connection. Inflationary oil prices would have existed in some form even without sanctions on Russia. With that said, all NATO has to do to secure peace is to commit to, in writing, no further eastward expansion, including an explicit commitment that Ukraine will not join NATO. Additionally, an acknowledgement of the independent states of Donetsk and Luhansk in accordance with the EUs commitment to human rights, and a condemnation of Ukraine for murdering their own civilians over the last 8 years.

  17.  @toyotaprius79  He was already filming. He was doing one of those cringe vlog style videos EU politicians seem to love doing, when he walked passed these two. The video actually does start at the beginning of the confrontation, it's just got the political message before it trimmed off. They were upset that he walked by and caught them on camera. It's a good indication that they were doing something illegal when he walked by and they didn't want that getting out. Deport them. Make a big song and dance about deporting them. Problem solved

  18.  @0warfighter0  Please observe that at no stage did I state anything about promotion, nor did I make any comments that indicate fear or anti-gay perspective. Please stop trying to turn this conversation into something it's not, and please do not place words in my mouth. You only discredit yourself by doing either. I am only concerned with the law being reported on and legitimate concerns of impact it may have. No one has thus far been able to point to any legitimate negative outcomes from such a law. I have looked through the statute and it doesn't appear to have anything in it that could possibly cause harm. It doesn't outlaw homosexuality nor does it outlaw people talking about homosexuality in their own private conversations. It doesn't outlaw adults being part of societies, groups or non-profits surrounding homosexual rights or lifestyle. This particular law does not make illegal, establishments geared towards a homosexual clientele. It doesn't outlaw homosexual content at universities where all students are adults. Importantly, it also does not introduce content into schools with a negative view of homosexuality. The only thing this law does is outlaw homosexual content at schools in relation to minors. That is, it leaves sexuality completely out of schools for minors making that a question for parents. As such, I can see no negative outcomes here for homosexuals. Homosexual students in schools will still be homosexual, they'll still have the same number of friends as they had yesterday and those friends will naturally come to understand them as individuals. Critically there is no discernible mechanism by which such a position alone can increase stigma, hatred nor lead to oppression. So, unless someone can point to a direct harm I'm going to take this as a media beat up of a non-issue. If this is how Hungary feel from a social and cultural standpoint then it seems a reasonable implementation.

  19. 8 months ago Germany and France were complaining that "other EU states need to accept more asylum seekers to take the pressure off Greece" and "it's the EU responsibility to help those in need". Now those asylum seekers are headed for Germany and France suddenly their tune has changed and they're willing to take about hard border measures Greece has been asking for. Hilarious. Also, they said 8 months ago they weren't going to rebuild the camp.

  20. Good idea, try to create an isolationist state in Russia one of the most powerful countries in the world. Great idea, what could possibly go wrong... Lithuania seems to be doing a lot of very loud and stupid things lately. Exceptionally cringe.

  21. Dear Italy, Please give Australia back the vaccines you stole. Your people don't even want to take them and you have a massive supply you're just doing nothing with. You didn't need to steal vaccines. Give them back

  22. lol this isn't news. You can't fight for equality of women then say they need to be in a specific seat over a man. That's not equal, first come, first served. That's equality. There were two people on couches, if it was really a problem I'm sure they could have gotten her another seat. This isn't news, why are you covering this?

  23. It's very brave of EuroNews to employ a reporter with a speech impediment to cover the french elections. 👏👏

  24. In Australia when alcohol abstinence recently moved from 13% pre-pandemic to currently 25% (1:4), the government didn't try to reverse that trend. They just lifted alcohol taxes to make up revenue shortfalls, which in turn has the positive effect of pushing more people into alcohol abstinence. The trend is so popular that some of the hottest new bars/clubs are completely alcohol free establishments. They offer mocktails instead. Japanese bars and clubs need to innovate, offer alcohol free alternatives, meals or other products/services. That's how business works.

  25. ... it's a chair guys. If you're the kind of person who gets offended over a chair, you shouldn't be allowed to participate in society.

  26. That's a nice bit of fiction Ylva Johansson is pushing there. Meanwhile in Poland illegal migrants seem to be drowning in a field and starving to death as they walk across the boarder. Sounds legit

  27. Regret what? This is where we explain to them that we meant it in Doha when we said as long as Sharia law is going on in Afghanistan, and it's not an inclusive democratic government they won't be receiving funding or acknowledgment.

  28.  @blacktea65s That is a far distance away from physical intimidation and violence against someone minding their own business. To be clear, I am advocating deportation for any immigrant, anywhere, who demonstrates antisocial behaviour not just those from a particular region. I would advocate the same for a first generation immigrant from Germany or Italia displaying this kind of behaviour just as much. The message should be clear, if you wish to immigrate to our country you must assimilate the culture and values. If you feel you want to hold other values instead, it would be prudent to find a host country that already shares in the values you wish to hold.

  32. Give it a week and Germany will again say "pause the vaccine? What are you talking about, why aren't people getting vaccinated" Funny how it's only the EU having these problems, and no one else in the world using AstraZeneca (which is the vast majority) is reporting anything wrong across tens of millions of doses. It's almost as if the EU, particularly Germany and France, have some kind of personal problem with British owned AstraZeneca. Gee, I wonder what happened relatively recently that they might want to punish Britain for?

  41.  @mikebarton  You know what first generation means, right? Edit: That his comments are now deleted would suggest Mike realised how foolish he was being. Good job Mike, we all make mistakes and I'm glad you realised yours.

  42. No, they're going to fine you. And they're going to keep fining you until you get vaccinated. They're also going to tell you that you're not allowed to leave your house except for approved essential reasons. If you break that rule, they'll fine you for that as well. It's a slight pinch and you're done. Get vaccinated, it's really not a big deal

  45. 2 persons per 1000 will develop DVT annually. 2:1000!!! The 1 per 2.5M discussed here is well below the background level of blood clotting one can expect amongst the general population. 1 per 1M have been reported developing blood clots after the Pfizer vaccine as well. It's also far below the baseline, but we never hear about it from the EU. It's funny how the EU has only negative things to say about the UK developed vaccine but is silent on every other vaccine. It's almost as if there's a political motive.

  47. This woman, whoever she is, appears to be living in a fantasy world. Speed assist only alerts you if you're going over the limit, it doesn't cap your speed to the posted limit. A speed cap is also a torque cap which is detrimental in many legitimate situations, including ones where capping torque makes the vehicle less safe. Developing markets have different vehicles to developed markets because the vehicles have to be made cheaper in developing markets like India so that people can afford to buy them. One can not listen to a silent majority, because they're silent. That's the point. If the majority were genuinely following speed limits not only would there be no need for speed assist, not only would there be little revenue from speeding fines, but there wouldn't be 4M people dead from speeding annually. Where did you dig this woman up from? She has literally no clue
