They started playing and all this was very positive in the end of those days and it just gave me the feeling that these people in spite of all the hardships and the obstacles that they had to overcome were still very optimistic that a better life was ahead of them. Back then there was a lot of criticism of course at the time here in germany of opening the borders in hindsight do you think it was the right decision to really depends who you ask of course from our perspective on the ground back then it seemed the only right decision because of the humanitarian crisis we had there but to be fair afterwards we learned that the communication of the Different Countries was very basic to put it that way and we did think about our own reporting on the ground did we do the right thing were we to one sided but you know you have to remember we were down there and hungary and authorities were definitely playing games. The migrants always distributing leaflets that were exclusively in gary and that nobody could understand and they were picking off people from the fringes of the crowd of that camp that makeshift camp arresting them they were sending people to trains telling them that these thirteens would go straight to germany and when they didnt they had stops where people would have to get off and go into camps again so i said they were playing games and its very hard to get a solid side of the authorities we tried for this very show to get that side to have them here on air to tell us what the thinking was back then but they they refused so its always easier to get that side of the migrants you still try to be balanced did you find it difficult as a reporter on the on the ground to stay neutral and sort of look at the whole situation in a situation like that where you always already know that its going to be historic and you have these people that connect to you especially as it should bella a german broadcaster where all the migrants had to do on their cell phones and they associate you with with germany and they love germany you remember those signs holding up we love germany we love now because it was a lot easier to have contact with them to get their side of the story then the side of the one daring authorities but like i said earlier still always tried to stay balanced but it wasnt always easy. Fairly quickly took a very different approach. Shot off its boldness full migrans in retrospect how do you analyze it was the start of the deep divide in the e. U. Between the east and the west we all thought back then big to the Prime Minister of hungary would come around again under pressure from germany and france thats not what happened this conflict is still there its probably the single most important conflict in the you internally speaking and the only way that you has been able to deal with that was to try to keep migrants out of the once they get to the European Union still the same thing the e. U. Has no system to deal with. Head of news thank you very much thank you. I was staying on this story and we are now joined by nicole baconian from the Refugee Program on the of the hunger in Helsinki Committee which provides free Legal Assistance to refugees in hungary lets talk about the plight of migrants and hungry today as hungry changed its approach hala deals with migrants weve just heard from knox about what it was like back in the day. Hello so hungry actually hasnt changed its approach its going along the same route and if we can say as you know the fighting in florida gas between other countries within the e. U. So we did not only erect a physical barrier in 2015 of our border but we keep or acting more and more legal barriers that basically prevent Asylum Seekers to access hungary to get into hungary physically and also to get protection in hungary so we have to uphold unfortunately the road in democracy people get functioning decide im system going in the European Union this is a pretty unique situation unfortunately in a negative sense because i dont think it has happened in any other member state. And there is we had thousands and thousands of people coming in 2015 as youre well the go so recall that i also remember very well yeah right now basically we had 7 people in july who were able to file any tanks to seek asylum at the consulate in belgrade so i think this is a long road to hoe here in government travel bts policies now the human you mentioned that the hungry has declined to accept meaningful numbers of refugees why do you think that is. Well i think this has been an important part of the governments policy the anti migrant stance we sure you know they extend the to attack all those organisations that and that actually assist the Asylum Seekers and refugees and they have proven successful politically with this and and then they went along with it and weve heard complaints from social workers that they actually face prosecution if they. Help undocumented migrants its not true. So there there were several attacks at Civil Society at the actuaries and there was one of them we aim to criminalize assistance provided to Asylum Seekers it that actually concerns not only social workers but any organisation or any have her. To use decide im seeing hers and the you know the understanding go over what can be criminalized and what not is obviously up to discussions it definitely has a soothing a fact and leave me the scope of activity is that Civil Society and these are all legitimate acts in you know in a normal world i think about on you from the Refugee Program of the hungary and Helsinki Committee thanks for joining us here and you know. Thank you.

Director of the southern mongolian sure what right Information Center its an exile group based in new york with a touch of welcome what does the Chinese Government want to achieve with this new York Education policy. What the Chinese Government is trying to achieve is a total eradication of wrong on their Language Culture and identity. The socalled bilingual education is in fact monolingual education where all the subject will be taught in chinese and the mongolian will be taught as a foreign language. So the official documents issued by the Inner Mongolia autonomous region edge a department of education already. Laid out the 3 year plan to replace mongolian entirely with with the chinese. And the mongolian language will no longer be the medium of education and the document also said that by 2022 day everything will be taught in chinese but if its about propagating the mongolian language it is not being entirely banned it will stick has to be taught as a language. Are you not satisfied with that well. D. As i mentioned earlier that among millions will be taught but as Foreign Languages for them going as students so the mongolian students and parents are not accepting that because they think the mongolian is their native language and they have been. Learning mongolian and then learning all the subjects subjects in. The mongolian as as a medium of. Instruction in them among all the schools.

Well noam no matter what the met that the authorities use and know no matter how harsh the government crackdown on the a protester protesters. Mongolian will not give up and they are determined to continue the the mass Nonviolent Resistance Movement and. So we believe we believe. There is still some chance. Of success even though the government is using Excessive Force even if there is some possibility that the government or crackdown on the under protest entirely where this time but. We are among millions will continue to resist through widespread none cooperation and civil disobedience in the years to come.
