and renew one self and the host that brings and set you up today. so have little world news in the top of the our next on the w. uh, looking at how poland to speed upgrading its military central rush. it went into you the want me to pull in what its in just a 100 days. my parents because of my family. what cute. how was this age? i'm on a journey to find out about the resort. the 19 are to put you on the site, but they expect to see. rhonda, my name is some way to ship me here. i'm a student makes lead shaming history out documents re stuff. april 6th on dw. ok bye that's. that's what it says. transfer. can you hear me that's, can you hear me here? where were you hit the scotts bed?

okay, that's what i'm going to clean and it's the leg the bandage on. got it and that's the point. nice distributive or is unpredictable. it's better to be prepared if you want me to know what to do if things ever gets serious a stimulus thought i'd like to see more and more people preparing themselves for the sort of situation that's sort of when y'all went to beach the . this is a rifle range in august of

a town in northeast to poland. the president of the local gun club, the check troops, kosky, is preparing the range for a public training session whole this semester. okay . okay, now we can shoot looking for everybody. yeah, check a 50 roll truck driver and gun enthusiast runs the club in his spare time. he personally instructs club members twice a month. they get together to practice ready, low they use live ammunition the. the

decision was fine because they were open to everyone. i'm not just members lead to anyone that can come along and see if guns are for them. but obviously if you asked me shooting is for everyone, i think the problem is everybody should try it out for boys. see how much that munition do you want them to? how much is it? he said he is on a property 5 slot a, a you a quick call efficient minds at our turn generally generally gets busy people. you have to wait in line with like in the old days under communism is that that's a fed as well as club members with their own weapons. there are also a lot of new comers king to try shooting for the 1st time. demand that poland rifle range has as high as a consequence of searching the war. and ukraine has made us incredibly popular to the, the group of what we know. since the russian aggression began to move, we've noticed a significant increase in the mountains. so those is to hold you,

especially from people who have no previous experience yet with weapons on 2nd row . now, since the beginning of the war in ukraine, membership at the ghost of shooting club has more than doubled. the new members even include children, accompanied by their parents. poland has no age restrictions on small caliber weapons like that. so the untamed left. keep your arms straight, the cost of the damage of the city when you finish to take a step back up and wait for the next command, they'll come in with all these emails and my timesheet the always have your people as i'm as for the g, mostly it's father is coming with their children. cool by cool. i'll let they're suppose boys and girls shifting the and some and when she more young. but my daughter actually machine when we grown ups have to somehow and you still in the younger generation, the will to defend themselves young but a change it over on the phone.

my son started in the scouts and they suggested we try the shooting range and i wanted to see what it was like. the nice overall and very impressive piece of mind that as a focus on safety and there's demand for it to come up with lots of my friends, have been shooting for a long time. with the recent political events have definitely prompted more people to take it up for shooting practice. isn't folk something the stage wants to encourage their plans to build more than 500 new rifle ranges and to make accessing firearms simpler. in 2022 weapons training was made compulsory for school children in the 8th grade fears of a russian attack or driving poles to take up arms. yeah. checks the civilians with the right training have a role to play. you start with the automatic religion, physical males, whole and it has a whole army of civilians who know how to shoot for on the brand new boys. gordon.

70000. yes. for the a wanted to sure. so they do it as a sports, but military weapons were the same way. oh you project when you missed precise one of them there are the hunters so who so to some find were basically a kind of silent reserved for the farm. once they are in an emergency, we could quickly be ready to assist. so somebody said overall total into seeing a clear trend towards military preparedness over on the most the end, it's not just citizens were arming themselves since russia invited ukraine. the polish government has spent around 14 and a half 1000000000 euros on missile defense systems, tanks and floor plans. new equipment is shown off to the public at so called military picnics around the country.

their plans to increase military spending to 5 percent of g d p as well as to raise trip numbers from 164002300000. nowhere in poland. just the warfield closer than here in the foothills of the car, paint and mountains, possession of the regional capital is less than 90 kilometers from the ukrainian border. the city has become a new nato outpost. it's airport is a hub for western arm shipments bound for ukraine. every day, military aircraft arrived carrying us air defense systems, munitions, and armored vehicles. the area is strictly monitored and filming is just about impossible the

company on modest or was born and grew up in charge of or the 23 year old hopes to join the army. soon since his school days, he's been a volunteer which toilets one of poland, many paramilitary groups. since the war began, the organization has grown in popularity. they shall feel, but here's my still it stress uniform. we won't go over this from top to go from left to them, so missed on the miles and not to have a little bit above. i quoted ski florida or to feels uniforms. jackets are leases to and also loot of equipment like not just purchased and tactical towns or bus effected snack companies that will keep the ball home. it must cups. you've got helmet gas mask hearing protection for the shooting re actually built on the ocean officer needs at that phone to put you with the foot of the rain calling to minutes in on everything you need for a 1st aid kits that are like little video live across the thing up,

that's x coming, elsie's, what he does as preparation for a career in the military. he's also joined up as a volunteer with the territorial defense force, a home guard that exists alongside the professional army politic prescription with extinct her. schoolwork is full. i was wondering what to do with my life, which means i decided that at some point i sure would like to join the army football club. that's my goal. total beach in for me, it's about strengthening our country's potential. we've added security and less of a kyle of it, so i will tell us the less the price of bushing that little you pull a lot of the pull so much. that's why i'm with stress that she was and why i want to join the army some all once a month coming and goes to a barracks, to train with the territorial defense force he and does the unit also assist the regular army and securing the airport, making coffee, yeah. want one. yeah. coming

and still lives with his parents and 2 younger siblings. his folder has just come home from work right now along side to tablets and his duties and the territorial defense force coming hardly has any time to spend with his family. ah, where are you on duty again soon pushing yes, definitely sometime this month like that about but also i looked at the airport. yeah. so there's, there's folks here that will be that i swap the warranty crane hasn't made judge of the name is wanting to know, could i, you know, yes, they're looking for cities, airport is now strategically important for the west. so i think he's nimble, us and nato troops are stationed there. so there's always come out to be pushing and i'll get involved. the cold weather is playing a new important role as the echo boy, decisions not to know. we are part of nato and had its 1st line of defense ceiling

0. if push comes to shove, we'll be the 1st to be attacked to move into them up yet a she so we have to arm ourselves as she and she moved to the right and she doesn't grow each. it also is i'll talk about why the buying russian has attacked. you create that, are you not the who's to say there won't be a tax on other countries? so instead of putting you this, of course we're proud of, our son will thoughts. he's constantly on active service needs to know whether it's with charlottes or the territorial defense for. so it sounds like the territorial volunteers receive just under a $170.00 euros a month for their service, but they're not professional soldiers. a few weeks ago carmel applied to join the regular army. he's waiting to hear back many of comments friends also joins charlottes while they were still in school. and several are now in the army. he's meeting up with some of them to go bowling. so

let's go in the that you nice, nice uh what about the for cumberland is friends. it's plain to see how the war has changed. their hometown weather in bars, restaurants or bowling alleys. american soldiers are now ever present as well as a nato stronghold. joshua is also an important logistics hub for the us army. almost 5000 us military personnel are now stationed in the city. but they don't

talk to journalists of the said, i'd say the americans are part of our everyday lives. like you're at the bowling alley. i think so, but we have no real contact with each other. we don't make any sense of us product and they live in their world. and we live in our shop. know, ms. floyd, some are already referring to joshua as the new ramstein, a reference to the us air base in germany. the city has become a symbol of colin's new strategic importance within nato. and the whole is getting a lot more attention now. that's also forcing us to expand our army to make it one of the best. and you are of ink for even in nato. it looks kind of impressed when i don't know if it's, if not the, the, the armed forces themselves or heavily promoting that expansion. since october 2022,

the army has been offering free one day courses in some of the countries barracks. the sessions offer an introduction to basic military skills. here in moore saw participants have gathered at a military academy. first they get to witness a short demonstration by real soldiers, a simulated combat mission chase. a focus of today's demonstration gibson, impression of how combat operations are carried out to the squad leader gives the signal to the cadets. then carry out a patrol, track down, and eliminate the enemy easily to the one institution you have of the,

anyone between the ages of 16 and 65 can take part. according to the ministry of defense, there are more applicants than available sponsor. among those who have signed up our mag deborah tom scott and alchemy, ask of all yes. the 2 friends from warsaw heard about the training program on television. just as soon taking his book on a good we live in such to be the time spot and it's important to get some minute treat trainings on. yeah, sometimes hopefully we'll lend some basics. hey, i hope things that might be useful in the future. so it's good, some of them to propose that. so that's just where we've never aside. guns will threaten grenades. and so as for the baptist district, we're here to get a sense of it. so just to gain some completely new experience. again, the phone has the phone and session i go. nashika is a principal at a primary school. my daughter is

a fitness trainer. the 1st thing on their agenda is hand to hand combat. it'd be like just a futile. i quickly knocked the knife out of his hand and moved back. oh, was it? yeah, i don't know. i mean, okay, i'll hold it loosely. bravo. in groups of 8 to 10 people. they take part in various exercises, survival training, piloting drones and weapons training. 2 the instructors are season soldiers, most of whom have previously been deployed abroad. the website is very intuitive. there's only one way it works. on the right for me like this is quite heavy. so that her put, it takes a lot of practice very through to me. and i'll have some help,

so they're kind of using the rifle is basically quite simple and all that they just need to memorize each step carefully as would be. so you don't make any mistakes, isn't that every number that you all read? not pull this lever down and the weapon is an automatic mode. here we can check whether there's a cartridge in the chamber and all the strap shouldn't be around my neck, right? so long as the, it's too short for you. it should be longer visit the cook, the say. it's a way of combining the fun with the practical, like a well, you have a good time, but you will say learn something new as a professional vega vince rectangular as possible and effective dodger with nice weather and professionals who know exactly what they're doing and the ministry of

defense is the courses are in response to ignore most popular demand. after russia invaded ukraine, the polish military was flooded with requests for training from both men and women . for how can i ask un mazda, it's now time to learn the proper stance to use when firing a weapon the semester. so that's, this is the shooting position with my left leg slightly forward. it's just because the people do that. it's 10 foot highway, secure the weapon numbers good. so i'm going okay. step 2, then pulled the box. i lower the rifling, remove the magazine level and put it away. step 3, i take a new magazine and pull back the lock and start over again.

i'm going to ask that and mark don't get to use like the munition just yet. instead they try out a simulator the the ship of the ball. but it sounds well, i really enjoyed shooting with hand guns to simulate to shows you exactly what mistakes you're making long. you've been not even more vulnerable to go to vine. he's back on the talk here. i don't know how well prepared we can be. i'm gonna say just a moment on that, but exercises like this definitely goes some way to helping us be ready if there ever were a conflict situation here. that my supervisee of the knowledge. i definitely encourage my friends to come along the, even though calling that a good system and i've already decided to sign up to take part in the next quarter . so i'm, i'm in one place has become available as you typically semester. the

programs official aim is to rouse interest and to attract applicants for either the army or the territorial defense force which offers logistical support to the professional army. the forces membership has increased dramatically since the start of the war, that as well as its proximity to ukraine. there is another reason that poland is strategically important for nato. this is the civil kick at a 70 kilometer long stretch of land along the polish lithuanian border. this is all that separates the russian exclaim of colleen and grad from bella rings. a close ally of moscow. it's seen as a potential achilles heel for the nato alliance. the atmosphere here is tens, especially since mercenaries from russia's bosner group had been stationed and

deliveries the shooting range and alco stuff is just a 30 minute drive from the bellows in border. the good stuff is own simple every now and then we see military columns on the road here. oh, that doesn't mean that it's a reminder that something is going on. so she should like, but we don't think too much about it and you know some of them and just keep you on, move it. jerome is full, you know, we focus on our role. the civilians come us for the keys from which it does, it'll be army, it has its own work to do and we have ours sugar. so use spectrum. and if anything happens we'll be ready of about 30 minutes. remember, you're using a different weapon, but you have to adapt to share with us just when i used to the other ones. keep going. last year. yeah, check also decided to join the territorial defense force, which that's because this is

a queen that has the old saying goes on. but if you want peace, you prepare for war. if you sit this potential a dresser, see that poland does arming itself or when they see that we have more and more people who know how to use whether or not i agree is and that our farming ranges are becoming more and more popular. sort of insight then they might think, okay, it's not worth the attacking paul and tell us, tell us what's that? what sort of positive us bush like down the thought was that you've used to moser, it doesn't say that. and when you see how you create in civilians, have done their bit with their own territorial defense force of the voltage. and that's also a motivation for us here in total length of his move to share it with most. i mean, it wasn't with us a well, yeah, cuz vicki lugens, it shows that even ordinary people who aren't professional soldiers can make a difference to me. months of actually, i'm still not that much. i'm associated with probably just the a full body style. good change the smell of the thoughts of

the job of giving military training to polish civilians largely falls on paramilitary groups like sealants. the ministry of defense estimates but up to 100000 people, a train with such groups. and that number is on the rise. 2 years ago, camille was still a new recruit. now he gets lessons on behalf of shell. it's once a week at a gesture of high school. shut up, shut up, sit down, but still i said sit down and people just drop box coverage all along side normal lessons. the school offers military training. it also promoted to the local territorial defense force

due to shut them up, which is our 1st topic is medicine on the battlefield, general, caring for the wounded. take all your medical equipment into backpacks with you up . let's talk you take the bags and wait in the car the door. uh the check got you in. uh uh, crowded thought, oh, nothing. we just wanna get ship them up. so we give the window person 1st aid and if possible, get them off. the battlefield is that clear? zillow. nice to later in the put the bandage on to the point nice seems to be delores unpredictable is better to be prepared to know what to do with things ever get serious. but i'd like to see more and more people preparing themselves for these sorts of situations. he's a bit so as we'll see, what's instead of going to support a couple of me. i want to beach shallots is colin's largest and oldest paramilitary

3, but it was founded at the beginning of the 20th century ago before poland was a sovereign state. it was never part of the polish armed forces. but traditionally, the army has always looked to paramilitary groups like charlotte's to find recruits . so let's fill it. your role is to create the citizens further north of military recruitment center. esparza miss. yes. most of the people involved will join the army at some point in touch, looking at the voice, cuz we don't train soldiers here and our maintenance session wants that. we turn young people into responsible and petri, i'll take citizens. no, my gosh, the whole best, our job and i'm just having said that we do see ourselves as part of the national system of defense of us. the price for shipping. well that's what i'll get a bit higher. okay. of the was officially vis a vis a vis i visit yesterday. the 2nd youngest manual, my parents are probably the best people to ask them about who shallots a sheet to me, but as a uh, most of the products that are lucky. but i do think my personality has changed so

much we'll get, we'll cover them up like, you know, i'd like to, i'd become even more drawn to the military to higher ours and find the following order sounds provide you with the subpoena. most of the videos i'm moving, so 1st of all, trucks i think being here has taught me the true meaning of discipline for the child. the next morning, coming and prepares for a military provide its armed forces state. and he's going to take part in the parade wearing his shell and stress uniform. order for all uniform connects us with previous generations who fought for our freedom, so that we can live in an independent country today. let me just a moment. we can't take that independence for granted money. we have to protect it with me as care for the way you with a small child. but the wish of shopping of us to say mind, jessica was

the military traditions play a major role in poland? a country with a history of being invaded and occupied on armed forces day the battle of warsaw has commemorated the polish victory over soviet troops and 1920 parades are held throughout the country. it's also a chance for the nation to demonstrate its military readiness, apparent military troops, march side by side with the army. this will probably be coming is last time marching as a member or of silence. but the army has accepted him and then a few weeks he'll be sworn in as a professional soldier. he can hardly wait, though he's not allowed to reveal any details about the unit. he'll be joining the thing is up. so there are always

a threat. suppose to about such you have to keep an eye on everything, the extra and what types of things develop? yeah, be the truth. i think the future of our army looks good and level of trust that we have a modern military that's moving forward. much of the size of sense my journey began to show us. i'm only about an hour we'll be serving in the polish army scheme. but yes, but for me isn't that you all that service and being ready to serve needs to be aware of your deeply. it's got them of the things you'll sacrifice, but also the things you'll gain. what does this come to the company all has no reason to worry about his career prospects. despite a change of government in 2023 defense spending look sent to continue for the

polish people's fears of a possible russian invasion. have brought a fresh determination to defend their homeland the old friends mean friends and may so defend itself in case of an emergency. we cannot guarantee that we could protect munich frankfurt. berlin sandwich faced with russia is 4 against ukraine. the rose grace is military alliance shows weakness. can nato offer its members suspicion protection here appeals security basic kinds depends on 90 percent on the us basic were attacked. what the alliance really close run out to part document

nation starts april fools on dw, the this group is funding for some of the wells, rarest eggs. they're searching for the endangered tv bugs of a, a tail rolling. you ceiling to steal their eggs and save them from creditors. almost 95 percent of teachers are killed in the wild. if nothing is done, they will likely disappear. in new zealand, we call our sales kaylee would be pretty bad if we need thousands of people have joined a massive program.
