1 many factors come into play: This is the correct order! Wendy uses this expression in the dialogue to say that there are many elements which contribute to the low number of voters in the developed world. To "come into play" is to "contribute" or "play a role". Here's another example: "Skin colour doesn't come into play when Luna is interviewing candidates".
2 I'd like to point out to you: This is the right order for this idiom! To "point something out (to someone)" is to tell them something, or make them notice it. Here's another example: "I'd like to point out that I was drunk when I made that comment".

In the sentence, "while in the station please be aware of pickpockets", what is the meaning of the phrase "be aware of"?
In the sentence, "while in the station please be aware of pickpockets", what is the meaning of the phrase "be aware of"?
"To point out" is not a synonym for "to be aware of. "To point out" means to 'indicate", for example: When we drove through the village I was able to point out my old house.
"Be aware of" does not express the active sense of "looking for someone or something".
"Be aware of" does not mean "to be afraid of".
This is the best choice here. "to be aware" means "to be conscious of" or "to be attentive". In this case, the announcer is warning the people in the station to be careful.
