2:10 pm
road all of those things happen he's driving out of town driving off into his footballing sunset ready to go and then the tires screech and it doesn't happen he has to trudge back into town and what the shock is he's coming back angry he's coming back having said all of these things about you can't take back and he's not coming back to apologize he's not coming back to ask for forgiveness he's back because he can't leave the show as an attitude no club really needs so what changed here was it simply that the contract was too ironclad spot on but the mechanics really is that there was a cool as that said if he didn't let the club know budgeting 10th then nothing else could happen after that or more to the point if the club one of the play hardball if someone wanted to play hobble that's how you do it one chimes there really was how you apply the norms of football today which is player we talk about a lot in context of n.b.a. basketball but n.f.l. football that being if a superstar wants to leave he will sit down with these agent and i can make it happen easily happens with
2:11 pm
a 20 other want to be there i just want to leave and then the club like a decision which is based around will what's the point of having a superstar who doesn't want to begin let's cash out now get something for him and move along everyone gets something out of the deal and you don't get an unhappy player what china was that player power didn't mean anything because they came up against just a bottom i who's the president of basilan who's got an election coming up and he wouldn't. late late that's the only thing that didn't happen he knew everything else happened even the fans that after you've been 10 toddles for a club that you should get the decision to leave but not missed about the my who's on an all and obama himself trying to get re-elected and that certainly would have been his legacy we only have about 20 seconds but by its own standards bush alone was not very good last year what do you predict for this upcoming season on the last chance basically i'm believe palpable it's going to be awkward from day one they weren't that great last year and the way to get better is not to hold hostage

i don't see great things on the horizon anthony howard from sports really appreciated it the next year. the biggest assembly of paintings outside paris has gone on show in one of germany's newest pristine art galleries the impressionist works or the gift of a software billionaire who renovated a historic palace to house his extensive art collection take a look. good morning i bought. the impressionists are strongly associated with france but now the gobbling easy and imports downy of berlin can boast its own striking collection of impressionist paintings thanks to a permanent loan by german businessman fossil plattner. mr platinum built the museum precisely for this moment he wants to share the paintings 103 of them with the public that was always his wish and it's now been accomplished
2:13 pm
and he fell in love with france as a sailor i as a nature lover because he's always been interested in bodies of water. it isn't passive flesh and how do you francis and the french impressionists i live next to the same river they wanted to be close to the river to the sea. that's what fascinated him was another person near. among the highlights of the clock my collection are more than 34 morning paintings some of them are now on display for the 1st time i. know one is feel like they're learning is perhaps the painter he succeeded the most in capturing the atmosphere he said that he wanted to paint what was between him and the motif under motif me is that he really takes you in here invited to dive into his works. alongside more name many other impressionists are also featured alfred sees lee's paintings of snakes things stand out.
2:14 pm
the impressionists were fascinated by snow because it gave a completely different outlook to landscapes they were familiar with but i think the really interesting thing with these landscapes is this when you see them from far away you think of the color white but the closer you get you actually see the paint with so many different views of things sparkles and vibrates the surface of detail so you really need some time to discover the painting for yourself. with the pattern i collect. now on display the bobbery museum in potsdam looks like any tool carries in the heart of germany. and a reminder of the top story we're following for you at this hour india's coronavirus cases have surpassed 4000000 the country is leading the world in new infections but the government is sticking to plans to ease restrictions and open up the economy. you're watching d.w. news coming up dot film looks at the polish trade union solidarity and its role in

2:18 pm
and those shortages also extended to food production and distribution people had to wait in long lines outside shops. even supplies of bread to run low. the 1st major strikes began in 1970 and even though they were strictly forbidden by law factories and shipyards across the country were effectively shut down. as a result some workers were fired or even arrested. the government intended to crush the rebellion it ordered the secret police to covertly film all suspects the authorities wanted to sow fear and mistrust in order to divide people and discourage protests.
2:19 pm
the police's strategy was to wear people down. their surveillance cameras seemed to be everywhere. and even when there were no cameras people still felt they were being watched. this constant surveillance and the everyday lives of the polish people. these pictures were taken by officers of the ministry of public security. the ministry was often referred to as the heart of the communist party and its role was to infiltrate society is there really is possible and maximize state control

fresh breeze of spring and the spirit of revolution. the official polish media did not report on the protests instead they focused on the festive government organized may day parades that celebrated the glories of communism. the interior ministry commissioned propaganda films that vilified so-called anticommunist forces people who might consider the domestic enemies of the polish people's republic. one of the best known dissidents was our diminished nick ok oh our member and underground publisher. despite the government's efforts popular support for the opposition grew and it became a movement for change. the activists recruited young filmmakers to counter the

2:26 pm
ideological struggle spread beyond the borders of poland even as far as the vatican . white smoke appeared the next day at 6 17 pm local time. was of the new pope is now on account of the 1st call 450. i think you cannot carry on what to you 1st pope from a communist country the names himself pope john paul the 2nd ambassadors across. the patrolling to keep the view i had my 1st taste of freedom in 1979 when you know i got an official invitation from the director of the bishops conference press office to direct order a man who would later become a bishop himself though. i was to be one of 7 cameramen to take part in

a feature film about the pope's 1st pilgrimage to poland mortgage skidoos if you go to see if you have sense if it is in the polls. now it will be this was extraordinary. because for the 1st time i didn't feel like i was being censored. we could focus on spirituality and what it meant for this country was not that the group could argue that critics of the pope's visit showed that 80 or 90 percent of the country was opposed to the political system during june tickets and can i was just you could have been them system of. this was a significant setback for the polish communist party. average people who had never before considered standing up to the government did so now they felt they were on a new mission committed to defending human dignity although the pope never referred

directly to the government all poles understood his message. here's. their religious face gave them strength the strength of community. the city of god dance on the baltic coast on august the 14th 1980 several sounds and workers at the lenin shipyard broke the law by going on strike.
2:29 pm
the strike was called to support a colleague and a volunteer no of it should been fired 5 months before she was due to retire management had accused her of anticommunist activity. that. i didn't know it'd be new to. me when you made a mario. particularly to do it and when you say. that i am merely humorous where you sit. right here at. the park the funny benefit that we're news of the strike at the shipyard spread rapidly across poland and indeed around the world. so. we decided to go to the dance to observe the strike which older people
2:30 pm
said that the younger one should go. so i and a few other colleagues drive a. now you probably have. we arrived in good hands come to 2 days. of course we want to go to the shipyard. we don't know whether they would let is in . there but he says the visa workers said that the state media had been spreading lies so they wouldn't let them in some of your quote but they said you gentleman and your sound recordist can come out of you but you've got to tell the truth about this strike. even much of a reach but there just are. no other members of the media whether domestic or international where allowed inside the shipyards the only film of the strike was shot by the documentary crew. they
2:31 pm
had the complete confidence of the workers who spoke openly about their situation. the resulting footage would make headline news around the world. around those huge. grabbers just a lucky and don't ever have it or not done yet really provide any. rational me he. knew that they were the children. and the only not on your. left when he strikes soon broke out in many factories throughout the country in support of the shipyard workers. the polish revolution now had a name solely done russia solidarity.
2:32 pm
it was definitely a new form of revolution and the workers had a sense of discipline. results last month as they locked themselves up in the shipyard so that they could create a safe assembly area to organize a nonviolent challenge to the government within must top of. the workers results paid elf representatives of poland's communist party had no choice but to meet with the strikers. for the 1st time in the history of the eastern bloc the communist authorities were forced to listen to the demands of the working class. and no one had ever dared to speak to a top party official like this. your same as if you've joined your national guard is a muslim the problem pretty. not
2:33 pm
an immigrant alan human is absent in the study. so that and that mean they shouldn't as mr liu that's none the best i mean as an example. there's a practical and if you don't gotta go then you got american my own problems with the program this got such a cuban. american researchers and i mean our inventions of our communities the problems and yet another doesn't. just get as many as we have looked to me. yet was leaving as a bit of it just talked about. the trashing of news that you got we did a budget or you don't. pan out i mean if it it's up to page yet. moved one must feel like in that room there was never a moment when one side won against the other party to pretty strong. nice assassins
2:34 pm
like them. and there is no science we would when. it was really hard work to negotiate points out this book to the workers made 21 political demands including freedom of association freedom of the press and the release of political prisoners they did not want to overthrow the communist party that they didn't want to make the party more compassionate. the workers continued to their peaceful protests throughout the long hot summer of 1900.
2:35 pm
solidarity now had a leader in the shipyard elektra named elect van when. he was a passionate activist who became the face of the opposition movement. and the worker who questions the party monopoly is much more dangerous than an intellectual force of facts from current events i knew that protests could lead to violence and bloodshed he had a family and people trusted him as my. aunt to violence and he had a gift for dealing with the masses as an engine you can motivate them and appeal to
2:36 pm
their emotions but he never crossed the line in what's going on. always kept the masses under control and so he was with. the muscle. definition. of i when sir had widespread support among the polish people and the catholic church the solidarity movement was also covered extensively by the western media in the united states in particular these reports were often interspersed with anti communist propaganda.
2:37 pm
but when you can see next to me one afternoon there were rumors that the security forces would attack the shipyard that night from the river yet no sticks his ability to move us as it would be an attempt to subdue the workers because his vote the injured this too is that if you quit. your income better i took my camera with me to bed that night thing of his or because if anything happened i wanted to film it make me and make the push to the strike might be stopped at any time. our soviet big brother could simply say no more. requests no. but there was a dramatic turn of events on august the says he 1st $980.00 the communist party responded to the workers' demands and gave up its monopoly on political power. rather well in. order.
2:38 pm

2:39 pm
c meant. solidarity had one official record. nation. its leaders traded their work clothes for business. they appeared alongside intellectuals like today ocean as of yet skiing and bernice flashed a remick. without them the triumph would not have been possible. pierson ishant said in the months after august that was the atmosphere was one of her plans social commitment. moments ago when solidarity our 1st free and independent

2:41 pm
solidarity's leaders in an attempt to stop the revolution from spreading to other countries. that's now if you're a confrontation with the authorities was increasingly likely was solid hours he also had to deal with problems like funding organization and experience but the authorities were already interfering. in the government and we believed that things would change them but the situation didn't get better it got worse. because the trade union was a political movement it had no political or executive powers. the polish government feared that the soviet union would put a stop to solidarity. the new leader was appointed army general wojciech jaruzelski. appointed micro you we're going to. prescribe i. look i'm not binge
