we're seeing at the airport is one of them we know that they've tried that tactic before it failed because that really does work is it being too violent at that they're now trying a different way disrupting transport links to the app this really is an ever evolving and ever changing movement. demonstrators say they won't give up but hong kong has been in crisis for 3 months now with ever growing concern about how beijing will respond. dozens of leaders from across the world have joined ceremonies and poland to mark the 80th anniversary of the start of world war 2 polish president do does said there are still lessons to be learned from the war and his german counterpart described it as a german crime that his nation will never forget 80 years after the war began the heads of state of poland and germany shake hands together they remember

the crimes that began on september 1st 1939 steamy scrawled on the view today we honor all the victims of the 2nd world war. going to sweep out to them and with gratitude we kissed the hands of the veterans so we have met and circle back on the . pier on pilsudski square in the middle of warsaw was where the saxon palace once stood it was destroyed by the nazis the german president had clear words he's a clique and this war it was a german crime. the history of this place is testimony to that. early in the morning the 2 presidents had met in the town of a loon at the exact hour when the german military launched the war's 1st air raid and the 1st war crime the attack on the militarily insignificant city claim some 1200 civilian lives. in both velu in and later in warsaw president

steinmeyer asked for forgiveness from the polish nation the fun i can make and i bow my head in grief before the victims' pain. i ask for forgiveness for germany's historical guilt. and i recognize our enduring responsibility. u.s. vice president mike pence was also among the speakers but russian president vladimir putin was not invited to the ceremony poland's president made reference to russia's 2014 an ex ation of crimea and had a message for moscow. mommy does that mean time should go even in europe we observe a return of imperialist tendencies with attempts to change borders by force attacking other country is occupying land citizens being kept in bondage. he says it's near volendam about the. the ceremony concluded with the ringing of the bell

live from member ins and hopes that the lessons of the past are not forgotten. for a closer look on this i'm now joined by that want to have to cotch a political analyst at the european academy land an expert and german polish relations welcome to the show. the president and i'm marco were both at this event called world war 2 a german crime and asked for forgiveness where do german polish relationship or relations stand at this point i think this tension very good moment in the really a very symbolic moment because with. being in poland but also today. so the president of the bonus track was in the lin also taking part in one of the celebrations commemorating the beginning of the 2nd world war this is a symbol i think that is giving suit to poland but also to the utopian society

showing we know that for the 2nd world for begin poland it began with the attack on the polish military but also on polish civilians and this is very important because this also shows we know that the 2nd world war was not only about the holocaust of all it invading other countries but it was also about having a new kind of war that was also against civil society how would you say the trauma of the 2nd world war still weighs on polish society today a lot of this is i think maybe it's been getting more and more because actually it's only 30 years when we can speak freely and openly about what happened during the 2nd world war both the nazi terror and of course the soviet era and the men a lot of questions that come up and there are a lot of open still open books that the to be discussed and i think also it's connected with the with the. witnesses die away and there was

a will in poland to really talk about it maybe from different perspectives many also from very nationalistic perspective but i think this dialogue has to be kept in a speech the polish president under data set that stein maya's presence at this event was moral compensation is that enough or could germany be doing more i think that the voice in poland was not i was very strong saying that we need to have again a discussion and restitution and i can understand that the german society and also politics is a little bit more it was after that and maybe more critical but having in mind that more 50 per cent of poles are saying that the question of restitution is not done yet and they feel that's not enough happened in the polish gentleman lation and that and also having in my study in polish society if you talk about german polish relations the history of the 2nd world war is still number one or the

subject number one this is just hindus is a signal that we need to continue this discussion maybe it's not about the number but it's generally above the discussion about what happened in the boat. about the war about different aspects of the 2nd world war and of course its consequences for . bilateral relations but also for political relations neuro or on a cruise line to catch thank you very much for your health thank you very much. for arias charlotte cleric has won his 1st ever formula one grand prix and belgium but a victory was changed with sadness after his good friend i'm 20 and beth was killed in a crash on the same track just yesterday. everyone stuart's on the grid in belgium with the brother and mother of anton who bear the dog after a high speed crash in the 2nd tier of formula to race on saturday.
