Tune in to hear us discuss Canada's sudden change in leadership and why Mark Carney's installment as Prime Minister is even scarier than the Trudeau regime. Get the inside scoop on why BlackRock's deal for Panama Canal port control may have been secretly blocked by China... and why that's not necessarily bad news. Find out how the UK's latest “solution” to knife crime—banning ninja swords—completely misses the mark on what's really causing violence in Britain. Discover why the EU's biometric visa system has been delayed yet again—and why that delay is a small win for liberty-minded travellers. Learn how Italy's proposed limits on Citizenship by Descent could disqualify millions of people from obtaining Italian citizenship.

Portugal tem um novo acordo para a migração laboral regulada. O objectivo é acelerar o processo de entrega dos vistos de trabalho para a contratação dos cidadãos estrangeiros. Que vantagens e desvantagens? O especialista das migrações Rui Pena Pires diz que “é um acordo que não resolve o essencial dos problemas que existem na imigração” e não vê garantias sobre um recrutamento seguro para os trabalhadores, alertando para a existência de agências de contrabando de pessoas nos países de origem. Por outro lado, o sociólogo teme que os imigrantes fiquem “amarrados” à empresa recrutadora e que os seus direitos não sejam garantidos. A seu ver, a solução para resolver a imigração irregular passa por aumentar, e muito, a emissão de vistos, mas - diz - “o sistema não funciona”. RFI: Como vê este acordo de migração laboral?Rui Pena Pires, especialista em migrações: "É um acordo que não resolve o essencial dos problemas que existem na imigração, na regulação da imigração em Portugal. O problema principal que existe é que nós não temos um sistema de vistos que funcione. Foi essa, aliás, a razão porque a certa altura se abusou da figura da “manifestação de interesse”, que era uma forma de regularizar imigrantes que já estavam em Portugal, sem os documentos necessários para trabalhar. Nunca se passaram mais de 3.000 vistos de trabalho por ano em Portugal. Ora, 3.000 vistos de trabalho é uma gota de água naquilo que é o fluxo normal de imigração para Portugal."Qual é esse fluxo?"O que seria normal em Portugal era termos um fluxo de imigração da ordem das 40.000 a 60.000 pessoas, quando saem de Portugal cerca de 65.000 pessoas por ano - em média, até um pouco mais, depende se fizermos a média com os anos de maior emigração, quando foi a crise das dívidas soberanas. O que é normal num país que tem a sua natalidade em declínio é que a imigração, pelo menos, cubra - se não totalmente, em grande parte - a emigração, compense a emigração."Então quantos imigrantes é que entram por ano em Portugal?"Em média, neste século, têm entrado um terço dos que tem saído. Nós temos um défice demográfico que não é só o resultado do declínio da natalidade, é também o resultado do saldo migratório negativo na maior parte dos anos em Portugal.É verdade que, nos últimos anos, esse saldo migratório deixou de ser negativo, mas os dados são um bocadinho difíceis de analisar porque como se passou a usar a manifestação de interesse em vez do visto, a manifestação de interesse é feita por pessoas que já cá estão. Ou seja, o facto de num ano ter não sei quantas mil manifestações de interesse não diz quantas pessoas é que nesse ano entraram em Portugal. E depois, como ela demora dois a três anos a ser despachada, quando no final eu tenho autorizações de residência, eu tenho autorizações de residência para pessoas que tanto podem ter entrado nesse ano como há quatro anos.Ou seja, neste momento é muito difícil sabermos quantas pessoas na realidade estão a entrar em Portugal por ano, embora desde o Covid, o saldo migratório tem sido positivo. Quanto positivo é que é mais difícil de medir."Se o saldo migratório nem é assim tão positivo, o que é que justifica que haja um discurso anti-imigração, ainda mais em períodos eleitorais?"Por um lado, há uma tentativa de aproveitar a questão da imigração para competir eleitoralmente com a extrema-direita. É um problema que existiu em vários países da Europa, Portugal não é o único, a ideia de que se combate a extrema-direita se se conseguir adoptar alguns dos seus temas, mesmo que de uma forma mais moderada.A história de que há imigração a mais em Portugal é recorrente. Mais ou menos de dez em dez anos, o discurso político sobre a imigração é de que há imigrantes a mais. Como já tivemos muito menos imigrantes do que agora, há sempre uma descoincidência grande entre o discurso e a realidade.É  verdade que, nos últimos anos, a imigração aumentou muito. Também é verdade que uma parte das manifestações de interesse - uma parte que ninguém sabe quanto representa - são processos de regularização de pessoas que não vivem em Portugal e que não querem viver em Portugal, estão é a usar a manifestação de interesse como forma de obterem documentos portugueses que lhes permitem estar em qualquer país do espaço Schengen e não propriamente para se fixarem em Portugal.E isso acontece porquê? Porque quando nós não temos um sistema de vistos a funcionar, as pessoas para entrarem irregularmente e arranjarem emprego em Portugal, precisam do apoio de alguém. No caso do Brasil, dos PALOP, são os próprios imigrantes que cá estão que ajudam os que estão na origem a vir e que passam a informação sobre as oportunidades de emprego. Mas nos outros casos, como é o caso da mais recente imigração do subcontinente indiano, quem faz esta ponte são agências de contrabando de pessoas."Como é que este acordo pode garantir fiscalização relativamente a estas “agências de contrabando” de trabalhadores?"Eu não sei. Sabe porquê? Porque o que está escrito no acordo é uma coisa um bocado estranha que é que as empresas precisam de pessoas e entregam os processos à AIMA [Agência para a Integração, Migrações e Asilo] que depois os envia aos consulados. A minha pergunta é: de onde é que aparecem essas pessoas? Quem é que nos países de origem passa essa informação às empresas? Elas têm que ter um contacto local qualquer. Eu quero ir buscar 30 imigrantes ao Nepal, mas quem é que me diz quais são essas 30 pessoas e me organiza os processos para eu depois os entregar aqui às autoridades portuguesas que tratam da sua documentação e imigração regular?"O que quer dizer com isso?"Quero dizer que tenho muitas dúvidas que isto elimine a intermediação das agências porque alguém vai ter que intermediar na mesmo isto. Este sistema é possível quando nós estamos a fazer recrutamento de emigrantes com agências locais no terreno. Por exemplo, durante anos havia uma forte emigração de enfermeiros portugueses para o Reino Unido, mas eles não iam para o Reino Unido nem através de uma agência de contrabando de pessoas, nem irregularmente, nem à aventura. O Serviço Nacional de Saúde Inglês tinha duas delegações em Portugal que iam às escolas de enfermagem tratar dos processos das pessoas.Agora, se nós nem consulado temos, por exemplo, no Nepal, são as empresas que vão constituir agências de recrutamento nos países de origem? São as associações empresariais? Isto é um processo organizado, mas a que lhe falta um elo chave, que é o elo no país de onde as pessoas são originárias. Portanto, eu tenho as maiores dúvidas sobre se isto vai ou não retirar as agências da intermediação da imigração.E depois ainda não vi esclarecidas muitas dúvidas que tenho sobre este sistema. Quem tem um sistema muito parecido com este são os países do Golfo - a Arábia Saudita, o Qatar, os Emirados Árabes Unidos - em que as empresas organizam o recrutamento, trazem os imigrantes, etc. A seguir, os imigrantes ficam amarrados a essa empresa, não podem mudar de emprego. A minha pergunta é: uma empresa promove a entrada de imigrantes e esses imigrantes, depois, arranjando outro emprego, podem sair? Constitucionalmente podem, não há nada que permita impedir a mobilidade profissional de quem está a residir legalmente em Portugal, mas vão poder? Os empregadores fazem um investimento na habitação e depois? Isso significa que ele está preso ao contrato? Constitucionalmente não é possível. A habitação é considerada como parte do pagamento em espécie, descontada no salário. Mas é descontada sem limites, com limites?"Ou seja, teme que haja ainda uma maior exploração dos trabalhadores imigrantes?"Temo que, pelo menos, ela não desapareça. É muito provável que nós tenhamos empresas a funcionar muito bem, como tivemos até agora. A Vitacress em Odemira, tanto quanto eu sei, tem uma política de acolhimento de imigrantes nas estufas que não tem nada a ver com grande parte das outras empresas mais pequenas, que exploram muito mais os seus trabalhadores. Portanto, eu acredito que vai haver muitas diferenças."Falou-me só das reservas. Não há nada de positivo, para si, neste acordo?"Há. Eu acho que é vantajoso se este acordo for uma via e não a via, ou uma das vias para a imigração. O que nós não podemos deixar perder de vista é que uma parte substancial dos imigrantes vem individualmente, há uma pessoa que vive no país X e resolve ir para o país Y. Eu tenho os meus filhos emigrados. Como é que eles emigraram? Resolveram emigrar por sua iniciativa.  Nós temos que manter essa possibilidade de as pessoas chegarem por sua iniciativa.O que nós temos que resolver é o sistema de vistos. Esse é o problema-chave e andamos a meter permanentemente a cabeça debaixo da areia para não resolver esse problema. E esse problema é resolúvel. Nós temos exemplos na Europa sobre como é que esse problema se resolve."Como é que se resolve então o problema dos vistos?"Temos o exemplo do sistema holandês, em que há uma agência com a AIMA que faz a aprovação ou a reprovação dos pedidos de visto que depois são emitidos pelos consulados. Mas não são os consulados que decidem. Se nós continuamos à espera que os consulados ou os serviços consulares decidam, nós vamos continuar a ter 2.000 ou 3.000 vistos de trabalho por ano e isso é completamente irrealista como resposta a uma imigração regulada.Se não aumentarmos muito a emissão de vistos, nós vamos continuar a ter imigração irregular. Há é debaixo do tapete. Nós temos que resolver o problema dos vistos porque senão vamos ter um sistema mais organizado a funcionar um pouco melhor e ao lado vamos continuar a ter imigração irregular. Estou disponível para fazer uma aposta com quem quiser de que nós, dentro de dois ou três anos, vamos ter uma regularização extraordinária de imigrantes, porque sempre que se apertou mecanismos de regularização - como a manifestação de interesses, mas com outros nomes no passado - sem resolver o problema dos vistos, uns anos depois fez-se uma regularização extraordinária. Sempre."

Today, Taran and Sasha recap episode 3 of Jet Lag: Schengen Showdown.

Das Schengener Abkommen feiert Jubiläum, doch seit zehn Jahren gibt es wieder Grenzkontrollen. Die EU lässt das zu. Sie setzt die Angst vor Migration über das Freizügigkeitsideal und gibt die Idee von Schengen für Symbolpolitik auf. Brockhues, Annabell www.deutschlandfunk.de, Kommentare und Themen der Woche

Rund 320.000 Menschen arbeiten in Deutschland in sog. Behindertenwerkstätten. Diese Einrichtungen stehen zunehmend in der Kritik. Denn wer einmal dort arbeitet, hat wenig Chancen, es auf den allgemeinen Arbeitsmarkt zu schaffen. Außerdem ist die Arbeit schlecht bezahlt: Im Schnitt nur 1,35 Euro pro Stunde. Gleichzeitig machen die Werkstätten jährlich einen Umsatz von acht Milliarden Euro, auch weil immer mehr große Konzerne die Arbeitskraft der Werkstätten in Anspruch nehmen. Viele Beschäftigte fordern mehr Geld, mehr Anerkennung und Selbstbestimmung. Und auch die UN haben Deutschland wegen der Werkstätten schon eine Rüge erteilt. Im kleinen Ort Schengen in Luxemburg, an den Grenzen zu Deutschland und Frankreich, haben die Bundesrepublik, Frankreich, Belgien, Luxemburg und die Niederlande 1985 das Übereinkommen von Schengen unterzeichnet. Schrittweise wollte man die Personenkontrollen an den Binnengrenzen abbauen. Ein Meilenstein in der Entwicklung der Region. 10 Jahre später waren dann die rechtlichen und technischen Voraussetzungen geschaffen, die es brauchte, damit die Idee der Freizügigkeit in noch größerem Stil umgesetzt werden konnte. Mit einem einheitlichen Schengen-Visum, mit der Klärung der Asylbestimmungen und mit gemeinsamer Polizeiarbeit. Gestartet ist man 1995 mit sieben Mitgliedsstaaten, inzwischen sind alle EU-Staaten dabei, außerdem Island, Norwegen, Schweiz und Liechtenstein. Aber die offenen Grenzen sind teilweise keine offenen Grenzen mehr. Was geht uns dadurch verloren? Wie kann der Schengen Raum bewahrt werden? Und welche Grenzen brauchen wir? Darüber sprechen wir mit unserem Korrespondenten in Brüssel Andreas Meyer-Feist, mit dem Migrationsforscher Gerald Knaus, mit der Autorin Özlem Özgül Dündar, mit dem Politikwissenschaftler Volker M. Heins und dem Völkerrechtler Stefan Salomon, der mit Erfolg gegen Grenzkontrollen geklagt hat. Podcast-Tipp: Einladung und Grenze - Eine Geschichte von Tür und Tor Türen symbolisieren Einladung und Abgrenzung: von Stadttoren bis zu Online-Portalen. Sie schreiben Geschichte und öffnen Welten, wie das Brandenburger Tor 1989, aber schützen auch die Privatsphäre. Ein Schritt über die Schwelle kann vieles verändern. https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/zeitfragen-feature/einladung-und-grenze-eine-geschichte-von-tuer-und-tor/deutschlandfunk-kultur/14053893/

Hoy hace 30 años del día en que siete países europeos decidieron derribar las barreras físicas que los separaban y abrir sus fronteras interiores, naciendo el espacio Schengen de libre circulación de personas, bienes y servicios, que hoy comprende a 29 países de la zona. Este aniversario coincide con las advertencias de la UE en materia bélica, pidiendo a los ciudadanos que guarden provisiones en el caso de que venga una catástrofe climática o una guerra. Aunque Gustavo Palomares, director del Instituto General Gutiérrez Mellado y profesor de la UNED, ve alarmista la propuesta, admite la necesidad de un protocolo de "respuesta rápida ante situaciones críticas", insistiendo en que "hay que tener una política reactiva en cualquier caso" en Las Mañanas de RNE con Josep Cuní.Aunque la situación de alarma se haya proclamado por parte de las instituciones europeas, Palomares considera que el espacio Schengen no corre peligro: "El acuerdo que lo originó se acompañó de medidas de cooperación y coordinación entre los servicios de policía y las autoridades judiciales para proteger la seguridad interior de los Estados miembros y para luchar contra la delincuencia y las posibles crisis", explica el entrevistado. Por lo tanto, insiste Palomares en que "el propio espacio Schengen tiene mecanismos internos para combatir los riesgos que puedan poner en duda esa libre circulación de las personas", concluye.Escuchar audio

Vor 30 Jahren fielen die Grenzkontrollen zwischen Deutschland, Frankreich, Belgien, den Niederlanden, Luxemburg, Spanien und Portugal. Ein Jubiläum vor dem Hintergrund strittiger Fragen in den Koalitionsverhandlungen zu Grenzschließungen und -zurückweisungen. Was bleibt vom Schengen-Geist?

Vi er på Lillehammer! Eirin drar til Sjusjøen Husky Tours for å henge med 120 hunder, som er klare for Bikkjebeinerløpet.

Heute vor 30 Jahren trat das Schengen-Durchführungsabkommen in Kraft. Grenzkontrollen an den Binnengrenzen der Union fielen weg. Einheitliche Außengrenzkontrollen wurden festgelegt sowie Zuständigkeiten für Asylverfahren. Außerdem wurde der gemeinsame Kampf gegen Drogenhandel vereinbart. Wie steht es heute um Schengen?

Stöckel, Mirjam www.deutschlandfunk.de, Europa heute

Schlagbäume, Zollhäuschen, Grenzkontrolleure: Seit dem 26. März 1995 sind sie dank des Schengenabkommens II Geschichte - eigentlich. Doch erste die Pandemie und dann die Migrationsdebatte höhlen die Reisefreiheit in mittlerweile 29 Staaten Europas aus. Wie geht es Schengen an seinem 30. Geburtstag? Das fragt Anna Farwick im Thema des Tages Daniel Göler, Professor für Europapolitik an der Uni Passau. Moderation: Daniela Stahl.

Today's Episode of the podcast was recorded live from the Frontier, as today marks 30 years since the Schengen Agreement came into effect. It allows 450 million But could Gibraltar gain access to Schengen in the future with a Treaty? We spoke to some key figures related to the Schengen Agreement. GBC's Kevin Ruiz has done a lot of reporting from the Frontier over the years recounted his memories of the conversations people were having over Schengen 30 years ago.Juan Carmona was the mayor of La Linea at the when the Schengen Agreement was being discussed and signed.Darren Cerisola is the current President of the Cross Frontier Group. He told us about some of the work that they have been doing in recent months.Albert Danino was a European Studies teacher as well as part of the European Movement when the Schengen Agreement came into effect. He told us what Gibraltar was like back in 1995.And, Denise Matthews has always wanted Gibraltar to have closer ties with Europe, and was part of a famous human rights case. Hosted on Acast.

Today, Taran and Sasha recap the premiere of Jet Lag: Schengen Showdown.

Icke mag sinds een demonstratie vóór vrede waar hij was uitgenodigd te spreken ruim twee jaar geleden, het gehele Schengen gebied niet meer in. In deze uitzending legt Ickes vertegenwoordiger Jeroen Pols uit wat vooraf ging en wat er vandaag in deze beroepszaak gaat gebeuren, gevolgd door de registratie van de rechtszaak en een nabespreking met Pols.Potkaars kreeg toestemming om de opening van de zitting en de pleidooien van Pols en de Staat op te nemen. Van de advocaat namens de Staat mochten echter géén beelden opgenomen worden en ook van het verloop van de verdere zitting mochten geen opnamen gemaakt worden.Na de zitting sprak ik opnieuw met Pols in een samenvatting van wat er in de zittingszaal gebeurde. Mijn geschreven verslag van het zittingsdeel dat niet mocht worden gefilmd vind je op Potkaars in de link hieronder.Deze uitzending is deels Nederlands, deels Engels gesproken.

Today, Taran speaks with the creators of Jet Lag, Sam Denby, Adam Chase and Ben Doyle about this season of Jet Lag: Schengen Showdown.

For those searching for a golden visa opportunity in Europe, you may have noticed that options are becoming increasingly limited. However, Greece remains a viable choice. In an interview with BizNews, Richard Haller from immigration specialists Sable International stated that Greece offers a residency programme, allowing investors to live in Greece and travel within the Schengen area for 90 days out of every 180 days. To qualify, a property investment of €250,000 in Athens is required in developments rezoned from commercial to residential. Athens is now a more accessible option, as the golden visa for the islands is now €800,000. Haller, who has recently explored potential investment opportunities, identified a development called Moschato Hive, which consists of 110 serviced apartments and is currently under construction. He described it as an ideal investment opportunity in a “vibey suburb with trees and lots of coffee shops.” He encouraged potential investors to act quickly, as options may become limited due to changing regulations and increasing price points.

This is your host, Jack Gaines. 1CA is a product of the Civil Affairs Association and brings in people who are current or former military, diplomats, development officers, and field agents to discuss their experiences on ground with the partner nation's people and leadership. Our goal is to inspire anyone interested in working the last three feet of foreign relations. To contact the show, email us at capodcasting@gmail.com. Or look us up on the Civil Affairs Association website at www.civilaffairsassos.org. I'll have those in the show notes. 00:00:39    Colleen Ryan My name is Colleen Ryan. I'm currently the Border Advisor to the OSC in Vienna. I'm seconded by the United States. So I do need to make it clear that I'm not speaking on behalf of the OSC or on the broader political or organizational context right now. I'm specifically focusing on my work and my experiences. Wow. You're seconded? What does that mean? Yeah, I'm essentially loaned out by the U .S. to the OSCE to serve in this role. They pay my salary. 00:01:13    Jack Nice. How did you get nominated? Where do you normally work? 00:01:15    COLLEEN RYAN In a past life, I was a police officer back in the U .S. before transitioning to working internationally. So I came to find out about OSCE and opportunities while I was doing my master's back in the States. And then I just ended up applying for the special monitoring mission to Ukraine. So I was out there as a monitoring officer up until Russia's full -scale invasion. And then went back during the war with a non -governmental organization working on humanitarian protection in the South. And then made my way to this current role. That's great. So you've been part of living history in a way. Yeah, to be out in Donetsk up until a couple days before the invasion. Working with border guards all across Europe and the changing security landscape has been an interesting role so far. 00:02:04    JACK GAINES So you've lived what soldiers call the moment before. There's a feel in the air, and it makes you edgy, it makes you a little twitchy, because you know that you're about to go down with an enemy. And so did you get that sense? Did you get that feel that things were coming close in Donetsk? 00:02:23    COLLEEN RYAN We were there at the time to monitor the Minsk agreements, which was a ceasefire at the time. It wasn't until when the U .S. evacuated all U .S. personnel that you started to realize that, you know, it may actually happen. 00:02:36    JACK GAINES Right. And so your current position is now training the border guards of Ukraine. 00:02:44    COLLEEN RYAN Yes, I manage a project that trains border guards across the OSCE, specifically on detecting porch documents and imposters. So if it's a forged passport presented at the airport or at the road crossing or for the train, we train the border guards, whether it's from Ukraine, Moldova, Bulgaria, Albania. So it really depends on the needs of OSC participating states in this realm. It's obviously a field that requires recurrent training because travel documents like passports are constantly updated. that national authorities can stay ahead of forgers. So it is something that we have to continue training on. And with the current war against Ukraine, they have the most need. They're one of the bigger border services in Europe. And then just the need in terms of half their border guard is currently engaged in combat operations, while you have the rest who are working to secure their western and southern borders and the surge in western and southern border crossings with the closure of Ukraine's airspace. You know, all of that contributes to an ongoing need for these skills and updated training on detecting passport forgeries and detecting imposters. And then you see that on the flip side with Moldova, they've seen a surge in the border crossings because a lot evacuated from Ukraine into Moldova. A lot of humanitarian NGOs and other people now fly into Kijanel to go to Ukraine. And so they've seen just a huge... spike in terms of the number of travel documents and also diversity in terms of different countries, different types of documents. And so that's why we've also been training Moldovan border police as well. 00:04:29    JACK GAINES Sure. So you're there to teach them how to spot forged documents, but is there also a follow on either by that nation's foreign affairs office or their law enforcement that tries to find the forger and remove them? 00:04:43    COLLEEN RYAN Yeah, there is very likely follow on. in terms of criminal investigations when they find forged documents or if they identify an imposter. But our project primarily focuses on those who are working on the first line and second line document checks to just spot the person posing as someone else. And then we do some work with the forensic experts after the fact to make sure that they've got that next level of training as part of their investigations. But primarily it's focusing on the first and second line officers. 00:05:14    JACK GAINES I'm sure they see all kinds of crazy stuff. Everything from the amateur glue stick to people who actually have passport printer creating forged documents. 00:05:24    COLLEEN RYAN Yeah, it's sad and it's also really interesting, the surge in the use of artificial intelligence and seeing the ways that they're incorporating things like morphing into the passport to their forgeries where two people can now travel on one passport using morphing images and things like that. It really just shows how quickly this field in terms of document forgeries is evolving and how much border services are struggling to keep up and to maintain their training so they can spot these techniques. Right, which is why they're starting to put chips and other special films that have a radio signature and stuff like that. 00:05:53    JACK GAINES they're starting to put chips and other special films that have a radio signature and stuff like that. You could print it, but to actually find those films or chips that have that radio signature has got to be a lot tougher. 00:06:08    COLLEEN RYAN Yeah, and a lot of it is just down to, like, Order guards are under a lot of stress and pressure and they don't have much time to spot the fakes. They're getting crushed by people. Yeah. So a lot of it is just making sure that they can spot some of these easier to identify orgery trends and to make a quicker decision before it gets to the point of really having to do an in -depth examination of the document. 00:06:32    JACK GAINES Yeah, I would imagine that you would see forgery trends because people would be going to the same forger and they would be doing similar patterns until that turned away. 00:06:41    COLLEEN RYAN Yeah. 00:06:41    JACK GAINES And what's it like working with all these different border guards from different countries? I mean, everyone has got to be a little different, but the same. 00:06:49    COLLEEN RYAN For me, it's interesting because I'm one of the few who has worked in policing, worked in this operational arena, kind of understands a lot of what they've done. And so you kind of speak the same language. It's interesting to hear from them, like what they view as their biggest security challenges and what their biggest day -to -day challenges are in terms of their work life. Because you see common trends across a lot of the services. A lot of them can be underpaid and that contributes to staff turnover. And so then that means you go back to a country to do more training because you have new staffs. But then to see how a country's security... You know, their perspective in terms of their biggest border security threats in Albania, where I trained in June, might be different from Bulgaria, where I trained last month. But, you know, it's still the commonalities of document forgeries, imposters, making sure your airports are secure and things like that. So I like talking with the border guards, such a different perspective across each country. Right. 00:07:51    JACK GAINES I think that's really helpful that you have a law enforcement background. helps break that ice. 00:07:58    COLLEEN RYAN I understand the perspective, but we're really just there to help and to fill the gaps that their service might not have the time or the funding to provide additional training because they've got the whole spectrum of border security issues to deal with within their service. And so that's where our organization or other international organizations doing these types of projects come in is just fill the gaps and help them develop their capacity. Especially with some other countries we train for where Frontex, maybe they're not working in that country. So then we can help supplement other EU or Frontex or IOM or UN initiatives and help to harmonize border security standards across Europe, South Caucasus, Central Asia. 00:08:45    JACK GAINES I don't want to just keep circling around Ukraine. Is there any stories you have from some of the other countries you worked with? What's your favorite beer hall story on those? 00:08:53    COLLEEN RYAN Yeah, I mean, most of my stories are with Ukraine because I've trained Ukraine so much. So I'm happy to talk about that. Yeah, I feel very fortunate so far in the last year and a half to have trained almost 50 Ukraine border guards. And I was able to go to meet with their administration and their main forensic center in June to do a needs assessment to see how we could keep supporting. to make sure we weren't duplicating efforts from other international organizations or other bilateral initiatives there because we do know it's a crowded space there. 00:09:28    JACK GAINES I'm sure talking to them, you could figure out pretty quickly what those border guards needed, even if they were getting training from two or three organizations, if they weren't hitting it on the head. Yeah. And what was nice for us is we were able to actually shadow them on their train from out west as entered from. 00:09:38    COLLEEN RYAN was nice for us is we were able to actually shadow them on their train from out west as entered from. Shamashil, Poland, and went to Lviv. And so we got to board on the Ukrainian side and just seeing what they're dealing with in terms of doing document checks aboard the trains now and the different challenges they have with that as opposed to what it would be like to check a document at the airport. It's a very different perspective and it gives you insights on things like lighting and being able to see different security features in the passport. With the lighting on the train and the time of day when they're doing the document check, the technical equipment that they have aboard and that may not be connecting to the cell tower or have service as the train moves. And so it gives you a different perspective to actually be there and see it instead of just hearing about it over a Zoom call or in a sterile training environment. And so then building on that. We've been able to take some of those lessons learned and put them into our training where we're encouraging them and reminding them to say, hey, how would you see this in different types of light settings, running different types of simulations, so it more accurately reflects the conditions that they'll be doing the document checks in. So what's coming up next? 00:10:57    JACK GAINES What's the future of training? Do you have anything interesting coming up that you want to promote? 00:11:02    COLLEEN RYAN Yes, through the rest of the year, we have a couple more study visits. And these are important because they help the border guards to learn from other counterparts. They will look through how this country that they're visiting manages their forgery desk at an airport or in their border service. And it really helps with networking and sharing more information in terms of what they're seeing in terms of detecting trends or alerts on forged documents. We've got a couple of study visits coming up next week. I'll be in Madrid with another group from Ukraine. The following week, I'll be with Albania and Milan. And then a week after that, I'll be in Dublin, Ireland with forensic experts from Ukraine's border service to round out the year. So it's a busy stretch right now. That's very cool. 00:11:50    JACK GAINES Do these multinational engagements, do they ever end up with countries with border guards doing a bilateral agreement on border protection? Or do they ever work on... building something like Eurogest, where if they find a forger from multiple countries, they'll work together to try to find out where the route is. Is that multinational cooperation starting to build, or have you seen it? 00:12:14    COLLEEN RYAN On a smaller level with us, we do see that. So at the operational level with these border guards, even in -country, being able to message colleagues around their own country. Or the experts that do our trainings are active document experts serving in their border service. So now they've got another resource, say, if we're using experts from Spain or the Netherlands or UK or Italy, then these trainees now have another resource to flag potential trends and forge documents or to ask questions if they're unsure. And then, you know, moving ahead, we'll be looking to do some more joint training between two or three countries. Especially if we do it with bordering countries, it will really help that collaboration to, say, connect the two participating states. And now they've got operational contacts to ping across the border to say, hey, we're seeing this. What are you seeing? Things like that. So it's a good opportunity for us to foster that collaboration and increase the information sharing with us through the training or study visits. Right. Because it's so important to have that contact. 00:13:23    JACK GAINES to have that contact. It's one thing when you see an issue and you want to reach out and you have to make that cold call and figure out who's the right person. It's better if you've made a contact, you know someone from training, you can just say, hey, what's this and what's going on? And they can just plug you in with the right person and then Zoom. You know, a problem's fixed versus making it a whole, oh, you have to talk to our embassy and our embassy has to write our embassy. And so it's great that those kind of cross -border contacts are being made because. Even though so much of Europe is dominated by the Schengen, there's still issues with legal immigration and criminal movement that each country still monitors what's going on and partners. And then those that are outside the Schengen zone, it's just as important for them to actually have that contact so they can partner and work on things to quickly spot forgeries, theft, criminal activity, then stop it before it becomes rampant. So that's awesome. 00:14:22    COLLEEN RYAN And it's just it's it's the first building block of really increasing that cooperation, especially with your neighboring state and contributing towards that angle of integrated border management and jointly managed VCP. So even being able to have frontline document inspectors from two neighboring countries being able to reach out, that's just your first building block to building that relationship. So, yeah, it's always useful to have those contacts. Must be fun to be in the middle of it. Yeah. And it's really rewarding. To get your group of border officers on day one, you've got 20 to 30 border officers from all across their country, wherever we're training, they're virtual strangers, and to see them learn to open up and engage and to learn from our experts and then start to share some of their challenges with me and to build those relationships, whether it's in a group or with our experts or with OSCE, it's super rewarding because then you just get to keep building from there and asking, okay, what's next? What do you need next in addition to these document trainings? What do your forensic experts need or what do your border control officers need? So, yeah, it's really rewarding to be able to deliver when you've got the funding and you've got the interest of participating states and to help them manage their borders better. 00:15:37    JACK GAINES You know, we kind of forgot to talk about who OSCE is, Organization for Security Cooperation in Europe. You want to give me a brief overview of what the organization is? Yes. But it does. 00:15:50    COLLEEN RYAN Yeah. So the OSCE is world's largest regional security organization, the state of 57 participating states. And we operate on a consensus -based approach where all participating states have to agree. And we utilize an approach of comprehensive security. And so this really helps us to support our participating states in developing. their security sector and to enhance resilience and to develop capacity to address transnational threats. So my border security management unit is situated within the Transnational Threats Department. So that's our goal is to help participating states build their capacity to confront a wide array of transnational threats that can harm their national security and pan security more broadly. Right. Now, when I think security, I think of NATO. 00:16:38    JACK GAINES I think of NATO. So you've got to be a little different. NATO is, of course, a military organization that deals with security from conflict, either deterrence or response to conflict or crisis, disaster. What is it that OSCE does in terms of security? 00:16:55    COLLEEN RYAN Our three dimensions are political, military, economic and environmental, and human dimension. So what you would traditionally think of as human rights. And so being able to take that comprehensive approach opens up. a library of opportunities for us in terms of what we can provide support on. And so my unit's mandate stems from our border security management concept that the OSC Ministerial Council adopted in 2005. So our mandate in terms of border security is pretty broad. And I think our bread and butter really is helping to develop capacity of our participating states and providing technical assistance. I mean, our unique added value is that we can provide this tailored approach and we're pretty responsive when participating states do approach us with needs. So it's a bit different from NATO since we're not providing military support. We're looking at long -term institutional capacity buildings, whether it's in border security, policing, security sector agencies. That's the core of our work. And can you talk about what the application process was like to get involved? It's different for each job. So OSC, you either have secondments, like when I am on, where your national authority nominates you, or you have the professional contract where OSC directly hires you. So for mine, I had to apply through my seconding authority in the U .S., and I was competing amongst the Americans who wanted to be nominated. And so then once I got past that, then the U .S. put my name forward in the process, and then it was straight into the OSC hiring process. It's a written exam, and then it was an oral interview, and then it's shortlisted, and you go from there. But if it's a contracted offer, obviously you skip the secondment stage of it, and it's applying straight to OSC in the typical HR process. So it's a little different. You just have to look at the job posting and if it's a secondment or not. 00:19:01    JACK GAINES They give you a salary. 00:19:02    COLLEEN RYAN Do they give you a housing allowance? 00:19:02    JACK GAINES give you a housing allowance? 00:19:04    COLLEEN RYAN Yeah, it's about when I was paying in the U .S. The really fun expense was moving my cats over. So that it's a week in a housing allowance. But it's different for contracted. So it really just depends on which job you're going for, contracted or second. 00:19:22    JACK GAINES Had you traveled internationally before you joined this position? 00:19:26    COLLEEN RYAN Yeah, I had traveled quite a bit. Back when I was still a police officer, I liked to take my leave time to go over to Europe. So I did travel a bit. But never officially. It was always first travel. It was always tourist travel. Yeah, no, I had very, very little duty travel as a cop. 00:19:43    JACK GAINES But I bet that travel helped with your application to say, yeah, I've been to Europe and I've toured around, even though I was a tourist. 00:19:50    COLLEEN RYAN Yeah, and travel is just a great educator. And I know it's expensive and not everyone can do it. Travel just gives you good life experience, especially if you're doing it solo and traveling in Europe and interacting with different cultures and just finding your way and being able to navigate and step outside of your American comfort zone. If you're looking to work internationally, in addition, obviously, to the job experience and language and whatnot, travel is just such a good educator and a good way to end your horizons. Right. And I'll tell you what, traveling and living someplace, 00:20:23    JACK GAINES living someplace, It's a whole new experience because you learned the trains when you traveled, but now you got to find out, get a lease and what that takes. 00:20:32    COLLEEN RYAN Yeah. And then if you don't speak German or you don't speak the local English, that adds another layer of complexity. So yeah, you're absolutely right. The difference between living somewhere and traveling is huge. 00:20:43    JACK GAINES But it's fun. And actually, once you've lived overseas, you start to do quirky things, I find. Like, I'll travel and I'll go to a grocery store just to see how they do their business there. Yeah. You know, you go to restaurants, but see how laundry is done or, you know, just how the public services are done because you think, man, if I had to live here, I'd have to drag my trash to the backyard this time. Or over here, they take it on the street or the Germans, they have to have a lockbox. 00:21:12    COLLEEN RYAN What's been really interesting for me is my American friends hear me speak now and they think I'm starting to lose my accent and I can't tell where I'm from or I'll... interact with Europeans over here and they can't quite pick up on my American accent and I think I'm from the UK or Ireland or Australia. So that's been a really interesting experience because I don't think about it. I just talk and just the little things that come when you're living abroad. 00:21:37    SPEAKER_00 Okay. I think we got everything we wanted. Is there anything left that you want to draw on the table? 00:21:44    COLLEEN RYAN As I've mentioned, I firmly believe that any type of security cooperation, defense cooperation is built on relationships and trust. And so there's two of the Ukrainians in particular that I've become close with because they joined our training last year. And then this year they served as trainers for us and they've joined a few study visits. And so through that, we've developed trust and become friends. So now it's gotten to a point where they know I'm a huge Swifty. Oh, no. 00:22:14    SPEAKER_01 no. 00:22:16    COLLEEN RYAN You're a Swifty? Yeah. 00:22:16    SPEAKER_01 a Swifty? 00:22:19    COLLEEN RYAN So they'll ask, oh, what's the Taylor Swift song we should listen to for this trip? Or what's your favorite Taylor Swift song these days? And it's just a funny example of how this all starts with just building those relationships and getting people's trust when you're working with your partner nations. Sure. 00:22:38    SPEAKER_01 I thought maybe you brought Taylor Swift to the border and you couldn't get her across. 00:22:44    COLLEEN RYAN No, but I did give them Taylor Swift friendship bracelets when I was in Ukraine in June. 00:22:50    SPEAKER_01 Oh my gosh. I was going to say, next time you see them, they'll be like, hey, still have my Taylor Swift. They had them in London last week, so they still have them. 00:22:57    COLLEEN RYAN week, so they 00:23:02    SPEAKER_01 They probably feel obligated, like I can't take it off. She'll think less of me. 00:23:10    SPEAKER_01 It was quite funny. Cool. 00:23:14    SPEAKER_01 But yeah, you're right. It's those relationships, right? You build them and then you can reach out and the people are there. It's so much easier than a cold call. So much easier. That's half the job. 00:23:25    COLLEEN RYAN On one hand, you can joke about Taylor Swift, but then on the other, they can come to you with more training needs or more requests for specific areas of engagement. 00:23:34    SPEAKER_01 Yeah, they know they're safe to do it. Yeah, exactly. By just talking to you. Yeah. 00:23:39    SPEAKER_01 Well, cool. Okay. Well, I got it. And I will say just one more thing that I should mention. 00:23:43    COLLEEN RYAN I will say just one more thing that I should mention. I'm able to do all this work because I'm very lucky that the U .S. mission has fully funded my project and recognize the importance of OSCE as a multilateral line of effort to strengthen international security and broaden our engagement. Honestly, the amount of funding they've given me has been a huge boost and really made this work possible. So I feel like I have to give them a shout out here. 00:24:11    SPEAKER_01 Cool. All right, Coley. Well, thanks a bunch. All right.

In this week's episode of then & now, we are joined by Dr. Isaac Stanley-Becker, a reporter on intelligence and national security issues for The Washington Post, to examine the rise and partial fall of the Schengen Zone amid ongoing and polarizing debates regarding immigration policy. Through the lens of his dual expertise as a journalist and a historian, Isaac explores the origins and historical progression of the Schengen Zone in his recent publication, Europe Without Borders. Established in 1985, the Schengen Zone was created as an area facilitating free movement across Europe in the aftermath of World War II, symbolizing European unity and liberal internationalism. However, contemporary discourse frequently associates it with Europe's migration crisis, fueling a backlash against globalization. While the Schengen Zone has significantly transformed European society, it has also consistently excluded non-Europeans, particularly migrants of color from former colonies of the Schengen member states. Isaac concludes with the assertion that the Schengen Zone is currently facing a precarious situation. Highlighting the rising prevalence of illiberal populism and anti-immigrant fury in both Europe and the United States, he posits that if Europe can develop and implement a more effective burden-sharing system for asylum seekers, the viability of the Schengen Zone could be maintained in a more coherent manner.Isaac Stanley-Becker is a staff writer for The Washington Post, focusing on intelligence and national security. With a PhD in history from the University of Oxford, where he studied as a Rhodes scholar, he has been an investigative reporter on the national staff and reported from across Europe. He recently published Europe without Borders: A History (Princeton University Press 2025), an investigation into the origins and development of the Schengen area of Europe. He was also part of the team that won the Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting in 2024 for “American Icon,” a series exploring the role of the AR-15 in American life.Further ReadingThe Schengen Area2015: The year of Europe's refugee crisis

Connecting with and providing counselling to irregular migrants, especially those living on the streets or in transit, is crucial for addressing irregular migration. Yet it remains a challenging and underexplored area, due in part to the difficulty engaging with a population often living in precarity and avoiding contact with authorities due to fear of deportation or past negative experiences. A pervasive lack of trust coupled with a concealed lifestyle often prevents irregular migrants in Europe from accessing critical information about existing services, pathways to regularization, and voluntary return options. As a result, many remain unaware of the support available to help them exit irregularity. In recent years, various stakeholders have sought to strengthen outreach and counselling for irregular migrants, whether to encourage voluntary return, provide information on regularization, or raise awareness about access to services. However, the fragmented nature of these initiatives, combined with a lack of evidence on their effectiveness, highlights the need for greater collaboration and dialogue. This webinar brings together policymakers, practitioners, and other experts to explore the value of outreach and counselling to irregular populations and the policy goals and approaches used. The conversation includes key findings from an MPI Europe brief, offering valuable insights into challenges for those involved in outreach and counselling activities aimed at irregular migrants. The brief offers some recommendations as well as a proposed framework to advance the knowledge base in the field. The conversation also discusses the first steps towards a more solid evidence base made under the Reaching Undocumented Migrants (RUM) project carried out by the Return and Reintegration Facility (RRF), an EU-funded entity that supports EU Member States and other Schengen countries as they seek to increase the effectiveness of their return and reintegration programming. The RUM project aims to develop and promote evidence-based tools, datasets, and processes that can be used by a wide European community of practice to improve outreach to irregular migrants within the European Union. Speakers include: Jan Braat, Senior Policy Advisor, Migration, Diversity, and Integration, Municipality of Utrecht, the Netherlands Giulia Bruschi, Data and Research Project Manager Europe, Mixed Migration Centre Christina Jespersen, Senior Project Manager, Return and Reintegration Facility Jeroen Vandekerckhove, Head of International Relations, Fedasil, Belgium Moderator: María Belén Zanzuchi, Policy Analyst, Migration Policy Institute Europe

All eyes are on Prime Minister Mitsotakis as Greeks wait to hear who he plans to nominate as Greece's next president. While the position is a largely ceremonial one, who is selected will send a message across the political spectrum, and will likely set the tone for the remainder of Mitsotakis' term as he will have to decide whether to appease his party's base or pick a candidate with a broader appeal. Tom Ellis, the editor in chief of Kathimerini's English Edition, joins Thanos Davelis to look into this story, breaking down the dilemma facing Mitsotakis and the message it sends about Greek politics. You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:All eyes on Greece's presidential nominationCyprus could join Schengen this year, president saysEU bans ‘Turkaegean' slogan following Greece's appeal

Forty years ago, Schengen - a wine-making village at the tripoint border of Luxembourg, France, and Germany - made European history when diplomats from these countries, Belgium, and the Netherlands struck a deal to scale back their mutual border checks. "The event at Schengen went unnoticed by much of the European press," writes Isaac Stanley-Becker in Europe Without Borders: A History (Princeton University Press, 2025). Yet, as one of its signatories said much later, the Schengen agreement "changed everything" - accelerating the development of the European single market and currency area. Today, however, Schengen is under threat as its now-29 members struggle to balance the free movement of people against the demands of cross-border policing, immigration control, and political consent. In September 2024, the German government - rattled by surging support for the nativist AFD in the run-up to a federal election - reinstated border controls with its four Schengen founders, prompting threats of retaliation. Could Schengen face, as Stanley-Becker warns, "death by a thousand cuts"? Isaac Stanley-Becker is an investigative reporter at the Washington Post - part of the team that won a Pulitzer Prize in 2024 for a series exploring the role of the AR-15 semi-automatic rifle in American life.

The world is shutting its borders to immigrants. Yesterday, we featured a conversation with Laurie Trautman who dates the Covid crisis of 2020 as the tragic moment when the entire world closed its doors to immigrants. But even in the internationalist EU, border policy is tightening. According to Washington Post's Isaac Stanley-Becker, author of the new book Europe Without Borders: A History, borders have emerged as a critical geopolitical flashpoint within the EU. Against this backdrop, Stanley-Becker examines the 40-year history of Europe's Schengen Agreement, which eliminated internal borders between participating European nations. He explores how this landmark agreement, signed in 1985 in a small Luxembourg town, represented both a practical economic arrangement and a bold experiment in post-war European integration. Stanley-Becker reveals the complex negotiations between France and Germany that drove the initiative, as well as how the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 dramatically reshaped the agreement's implementation. He also delves into current challenges to Schengen, including the rise of populist parties, immigration pressures, and Germany's recent decision to reinstate border controls. Through this historical lens, Stanley-Becker offers valuable context for understanding how Europe's experiment with borderless travel relates to an illiberal world now shutting its borders to immigrants.Isaac Stanley-Becker is staff writer at the Washington Post focusing on intelligence and national security. He has been an investigative reporter on the national staff and reported from across Europe. He earned his PhD in history from the University of Oxford, where he studied as a Rhodes scholar. He was part of the team that won the Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting in 2024 for “American Icon,” a series exploring the role of the AR-15 in American life.Keen On is a reader-supported publication.

Lo Zimbabwe abolisce ufficialmente la pena di morte e la Romania e la Bulgaria celebrano la piena adesione a Schengen

Il aura donc fallu 18 ans après leur adhésion à l'Union européenne pour supprimer leurs frontières communes. Cela facilitera les voyages, notamment en été lorsque les embouteillages bloquent les postes-frontière entre la Bulgarie et la Roumanie. Les transporteurs routiers se sont également félicités pour ce développement longtemps attendu dans le secteur. Concrètement, l'adhésion à l'espace Schengen ne va pas bouleverser la vie des Bulgares. Les citoyens ont le droit de libre circulation depuis 2007, mais désormais, se rendre dans les pays voisins sera beaucoup plus facile. Setti et Dimitar sont les premiers à se réjouir de l'entrée de la Bulgarie dans l'espace Schengen. Ils passent la majorité de leurs vacances et de leurs week-ends en Grèce. Un voyage souvent synonyme de tracasseries douanières. Avec l'entrée pleine et entière dans l'espace Schengen, ces mauvaises expériences devraient appartenir au passé. « Il nous est arrivé d'attendre pendant des heures à la frontière. Il sera plus aisé de planifier notre séjour aussi. Jusque-là, il fallait suivre les groupes sur les réseaux sociaux pour connaître le trafic à la frontière. On évitait de partir le vendredi soir, par exemple, lorsqu'il y avait de très longues files d'attente. »Le soulagement au niveau du trafic frontalier est une aubaine pour les transporteurs routiers. La levée des contrôles douaniers aux frontières avec la Grèce et la Roumanie rendra leur travail beaucoup plus facile et agréable, explique le directeur de l'Union des transporteurs internationaux : « On peut traverser le pont sur le Danube en une minute sans devoir attendre, il faut juste payer le tarif demandé. C'est un soulagement énorme pour les routiers qui devaient attendre dix, 20 heures, parfois même plusieurs jours. »Des bénéfices à plus de 800 millions d'eurosLes entreprises de transport devraient par ailleurs profiter financièrement de l'espace Schengen. Les grands partenaires commerciaux de la Bulgarie sont tous situés dans l'Union européenne, donc dans l'espace Schengen, l'Allemagne d'abord, avec des échanges évalués à plus de 9 milliards d'euros, d'après l'Institut national des statistiques. Selon les calculs de l'Académie bulgare des sciences, les bénéfices de l'entrée dans l'espace Schengen, s'élèveront à plus de 800 millions d'euros. « Cela aura un effet direct sur les heures supplémentaires et les salaires des routiers, sur les frais de dédommagement en cas de retard, lorsque le transport n'est pas rapide, il n'est pas attrayant », précise encore le directeur de l'union des transporteurs internationaux. Le jour de l'An, les ministres bulgare et roumain de l'Intérieur se sont donné rendez-vous au poste frontière pour lever une dernière barrière symbolique. « Un succès historique pour nos pays », a souligné le ministre de l'Intérieur bulgare Atanas Ilkov.Côté passagers, les témoignages sont enthousiastes sur les réseaux sociaux. Les vidéos enregistrées en voiture par des Bulgares rentrant de vacances ont fait le tour du net. Comme quoi l'espace Schengen est bien une réalité.À lire aussiEspace Schengen: accord de l'Union européenne pour la pleine adhésion de la Roumanie et de la Bulgarie

*) US plans '$8B arms deal' with Israel amid Gaza genocide The Biden administration has informally notified the US Congress of a proposed 8 billion dollars arms deal with Israel that includes munitions for fighter jets and attack helicopters alongside artillery shells, According to Axios, the US military backing to Israel has totalled more than 200 billion dollars since the creation of the country on the historic Palestinian lands. Washington provides 3.8 billion dollars annually to Israel which has killed over 45,000 Palestinians since October 2023. *) US says no plans for army base in Ayn al Arab as Syria FM tours region The US military has denied plans to build a new base in Syria's Ayn al Arab near the Turkish border. Videos showing trucks carrying construction materials sparked the rumours, but officials dismissed them. Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh said, "There are no plans to build a US base in Kobani." Türkiye has repeatedly criticised US cooperation with the YPG, an extension of the PKK terror group. *) Mike Johnson re-elected as US House speaker Republican Mike Johnson was re-elected US House Speaker on the first ballot in a 218-215 vote. The newly-elected 119th US Congress began, with Republicans in full control of both chambers for the first time since 2019. Johnson was unanimously nominated by his party to retain the gavel shortly after the November 5 elections. *) German airports hit by IT outage, long queues at border control A nationwide IT outage has disrupted border control systems at German airports, causing long queues for passengers from outside the Schengen zone. Federal police manually processed travellers, with no immediate explanation for the issue. Airports like Frankfurt and Berlin reported significant delays for non-Schengen arrivals. *) Chinese BYD tops Tesla in fourth quarter, delivers record EV vehicles Chinese automaker BYD outpaced Tesla in the fourth quarter, delivering about 600,000 EVs compared to Tesla which delivered less than 495,000. For 2024, BYD delivered 1.76 million EVs, narrowly trailing Tesla's 1.79 million. Both companies reported record-breaking sales for the year.
