national conservative government in poland will be able to continue its controversial. reforms and aiming at stretching its power in the country for example it is expected that the governor. it will continue its reform of the of the judiciary it is expected that the government will try to decrease the power of the local governments it's expected that the government may try to take control over the. independent media and the president in poland is able to stop all of this because the president has the power to veto a loss i'll call it however it's very unlikely that mr do that will do it because he's a very close ally of the ruling party correct so his reforms you talked about reforms . extending the federal government's policies all things that has been very vocal against what's this likely to do with the relations between poland and the e.u.
5:05 pm
well they are already troubled and i don't see any chance for improvement i don't believe that the party the ruling party in poland will now step back from those controversial reform from the reform of the judiciary which is jeopardizing the rule of no in poland so. on the other hand of course the government bull doesn't want to destroy its relations with the european union roland needs the e.u. and the e.u. need to poland however just relations will be very tense ok so what does this mean now for the opposition which we know is predominantly pero. well the situation of the of the pro european opposition in poland is says very dire say the government has now the parliament it has the president the government the ruling party and they have a lot of time the next important election in poland is the parliamentary election in 3 years. it's maybe hard for the opposition you know to keep their supporters

and their members mobilized for such a long time. so. a majority of polls and i mean can we interpret that from president and he did as well no actually no polls a very pro european poll and is one of the most pro european countries. in europe in the european union however poland is very deeply divided and as we have seen in this is this election. it's almost 5050 half of the of the society says we agree what the president does we like it that way the other 50 percent says no but it doesn't mean that the you did the country wants to get out from the rippin union ok so. from a polish desk thank you for that thank you. and now to some other stories making news around the world also post president she is being questioned by war crimes

5:11 pm
hotels that i otherwise couldn't afford. personally i enjoy the peace and quiet but i feel sorry for the croatians who don't make money. when things are tough some turn to their 5th further martin's church services now draw the same numbers as they did before the coronavirus and a place like split for so many livelihoods have been affected by the pandemic many are seeking solace in religion solidarity it seems is on the rise. in just a dozen or more the people appreciate your thoughts and words. it makes them feel less scared. when you boy. it's not all doom and gloom this year croatians have their pristine beaches to themselves free of the usual crowds of tourists but beneath the idyllic scenes there is real concern about the economic turmoil to come captain even doesn't have a single booking for this summer despite offering

5:13 pm
tell you this you know it wasn't because the name is racist or considered a racial slur it was a matter of money you know 1st fed ex started you know pulling the plug or at least sending warning signals on july 2nd they sent a letter you know pretty much urging the team to change the name in the next day the team came out but this was a combined of course with the black lives matter movement that pretty much has taken the globe by storm and i think the combination of the 2 you can even buy a jersey redskins jersey right now nike amazon pepsi it's very difficult their backs against the wall ok and snyder had no other choice to make ok so let's talk about the team's legacy in washington what is that well ok the founder george preston marshall he did not want to integrate the national football league of the united states he was the last to do so actually what caused the redskins to integrate was pressure from the kennedy administration in 1962 ok you know that's
5:14 pm
one side of it you know and on annoyed it's. been a very negative thing he said very vicious comments and so forth you know racist comments he's a known racist you know basically but the irony is that the redskins were the 1st team to have a black african-american quarterback win a super bowl you know so you have anything like out of me there you know it is so but you know in terms of preston he had a statue removed from him last month you know a lot of statues you see being taken down he had one of his statues up in front of their old stadium that was taken down ok now because he's an owner races ok so what is going to be reaction to this and i guess everybody wants to know what is going to be the new name right will the reaction obviously those that empathize you know with being disrespected or receiving racial slurs of course you know they say it's about time others don't namely the president of the united states trump has come out you know a twitter saying don't change the name but obviously it will move forward some of the names thrown out there the washington senators the renegades the warriors red tails a lot of names one former football player even said the washington wolves you know
5:15 pm
but we have to wait and see names don't stick but sometimes they grow on you after a period of time the most important thing is the youth the future the new name and we'll have a new story to tell about this franchise in washington ok well very interesting one chris huntington found bullets thank you. in brussels e.u. foreign ministers have met in person for the 1st time in months the main talking points will europe's tense relations with turkey by gratian and china's growing assertiveness since the start of the pandemic the ministers have been holding on meetings germany is chairing the current session off to take over the rotating e.u. presidency that will save you the presidency off the council. is teri schultz joins us from brussels way she's been following that story for us hey sorry good to see you so they use foreign policy chief says' relations with turkey are the most important item on the agenda why is that. yes they were
5:16 pm
the top item on the agenda today and that's because things are going so badly in so many different ways in the u.s. relationship with turkey you know we're used to hearing about the migration crisis about turkey pushing people into the mediterranean to come back to try to come to europe whenever it gets angry and that wasn't even the top item today in fact they were talking about a skirmish between france and turkey recently in the mediterranean where france was trying to force the u.n. arms embargo and alleges that turkey is trying to smuggle arms in violation of that embargo into libya and a turkish ship did not stop when requested to buy a french vessel the other thing is that turkey has. sent ships off of cyprus to drill for oil in violation of of the rights of european union member states and that's another thing that was on the agenda today but basically as happens so often
5:17 pm
when you've got to come to some common position with $27.00 countries they didn't really come out with a plan on what they're going to do to improve their relations with on. ok moving on hong kong the security role was also girls have some e.u. member states all calling for measures against china are we likely to see common steps. once again it's very difficult to see when we would see common steps china is a very divisive issue inside the european union there are countries that have very strong economic ties and don't want to endanger those but what they are looking at on the basis of a franco german proposal is that they would limit the technologies for example that could be exported to beijing that could be used as a dual use technology that could be used to spy on or otherwise limit the rights of people in hong kong they are looking at perhaps increasing the number of visas that can be offered to hong kong citizens to get out of there and to study and have
5:18 pm
a freer life and those are things that france and germany are trying to push other member states to come on board with but so far only sweden came out and said yes we need to do this but behind the scenes. the foreign policy chief joseph burrell said that perhaps you member states would come out on their own and announce unilateral measures like this especially for example the visa issue which is a national capacity but we haven't heard from any individual member states yet since the meeting just ended and just briefly to what else was on the table. these were 2 pair pretty big issues libya was an issue on its own again they've got the problem of the e.u.'s operation or really trying to enforce the u.n. arms embargo and e.u. e.u. states and nato allies apparently in violation of that they they talked about how they're going to better be able to enforce that they also were talking about latin
5:19 pm
america but in fact the issues with turkey and hong kong were so dominating that when we got a few minutes with foreign policy chief burrell we didn't even get to the issues about latin america so of course that leaves people in that part of the world very concerned as corona virus is spreading there and heading into this meeting that was going to be one of the top items on his agenda how to help latin america deal with coronavirus ok that's terry schultz in brussels for us thank you terry. south africa's president so ramaphosa has reimposed a ban on all coal sales and announced the return of a national curfew the country is facing a rapid increase in coronavirus cases often loosening what had been one of the world's strictest lockdowns. south africa is going through so many times not only in terms of the weather 19 cases like hundreds of thousands of south african lost jobs because of the look down the economy is shrinking and then on sunday the president's made an announcement that shocked those who like to drown their
