i'm half polish, and i just have to say, i'm very proud to be half polish today. great event and speech by president trump. this reminded me of the 80s when reagan would go over. and today, the left went crazy. cnn and msnbc, criticized president trump. >> the former president in indonesia taking on the president. this was just basically, fair and balanced. this was a president just over five months into his presidency who has command. he's the leader of the free world. all of those lefties they can get over themselves have much more to get over now. he is among friends in europe and it showed. >> the moment when he said, he thought hillary was going to win. there's no love lost between barack obama and donald trump. you might as well thought barack obama had been showering president trump with praise over the last several months. >> i have polish heritage mysel myself. what's so interesting about this, we know that president obama knew that there is some kind of russian interference. we also know he did nothing. he thought hillary clinton was going to win. now we

the first question, polish television. one question, please. >> i represent polish television.erning energy because those of you mentioned energy. my first question goes to president trump. and what time perspective do you think the contract could be entered into to ensure lng gas delivery and to question president duda. could it become a hub for the transportation of american guests to receive? >> good question. we can enter a contract within the next 15 minutes. do you have anybody to negotiate. we are becoming a great exporter of energy. very soon will be a very great exporter of energy and we've taken a lot of unnecessary regulations out of our process and we are doing things we haven't been able to do for a long time. we are blessed with great land we didn't even know 15 years ago in terms of what was under our feet and we find out through technology that we are truly blessed to have this incredible wealth under our feet and we are going to be an exporter of energy. it's already happening. anytime you're ready we can do additional contracts. we partied down the one that we

but on the polish side at least, that's apparently what they offered to get him there. after this trip to poland today,

we're joined now by the polish nigerian journalist remi adekoya . he is a regular contributor to the guardian and the former political editor of the warsaw business journal. his latest article is for the guardian is "poland's courting of trump is a few supporters short of a picnic." we welcome you to democracy now! can you talk about the significance of president trump's trip to poland before he goes to the g20? were you able to hear that question? talking about the significance of president trump's trip? >> well, president trump obviously wanted to start off in a place where he would be greeted warmly. as you mentioned, the right-wing is in support of trump's worldview, bused in their supporters. trump gave this speech that was and of historical analogies symbolism. he talked about how poland had endured invasion of nazi germany. after that, poland had to endure soviet communism. and he true in analogy to what angoing on now -- he drew analogy to what is going on now. he said the fundamental question , which the west now faces, is whether they have

but also we heard from the polish president criticism directed to him for restricting polish media. both of the world leaders facing tough questions about press relations between them and their media back home. >> and the president drilling down on that fake news, once again. and sticking with that. and then, of course, saying he does believe russia interfered in the u.s. election but saying it could be others as well. >> yeah. if you're joining us right now, we're following breaking news. president trump is in poland. the first leg of his second foreign trip. he was greeted at the royal castle earlier this morning by polish president duda and the two leaders spoke. here is president trump talking specifically about russia. >> we're working with poland in response to russia's actions and destabilizing behavior. and we're grateful for the example poland has set for every member of the nato alliance by being one of the few nations that actually meets its financial obligations. as you know, i've been pretty hard on some of the members of nato for not and the money is pouring in, i can

, a viewed the polish government shares.d some sharp criticism for russia, didn't he? saying russia was destabilising ukraine? yes, definitely. he also reaffirmed washington's commitment to nato's collective defence clause, something both the polish government and the western governments are hoping to hear. but the polish government was also saying in the run—up to this meeting that they were hoping for more promises, possibly, and that didn't materialise. this was a big coup for the polish government, for mr trump to stop in warsaw before coming to the 620. would you agree it's a symptom of a strained relationship that he has with more established european powers, like france and germany? well, certainly this is a huge diplomatic coup for the polish government. but i think he tried... any criticism he had of europe was quite veiled. like his comment about the bureaucracy being one of the biggest threats to western civilisation. so i think it's a mixed message to both sides. thank you very much for your time. if you are just

but there is a courage and a strength deep in the polish character that no one could destroy, the polishid it well. more horrifying than the defeat of arms is the collapse of the human spirit. through four decades of communist rule, poland and the on or about captive nations of europe endured a brutal campaign to demolish freedom, your faith, your laws, your history, your identity, indeed, the very essence of your culture and your humanity. yet, through it all, you never lost that spirit. [applause] your-protestyour oppressor is to break you but poland could not be broken. [applause] and when the day came on june 2nd, 1979, and 1 million pols gathered around victory square for their very first mass with their polish pope, that day every communist in warsaw must have known that their oppressive system would soon come crashing down. they must have known it at the exact moment during pope john paul ii's sermon when a million polish men, women, and children, suddenly raised their voices in a single prayer, a million polish people did not ask for wealth. they did not ask for privilege. instea

the president stressed strongly strength of the polish community in the united states and the polish americans home he met -- americans whom he met before the election. mr. president, thank you very much for that. thank you for noticing the contribution of polish americans and the polish people in the development and the building of the prosperity of the united states. apart from that, we discussed economic contracts. not only military but those connected with security. we spoke at length about gas deliveries to poland. the first shipment of gas arrive d in poland on the eighth of july from the united states. this has turned out hugely successful, no problems and no barriers. this opens up the path to more contracts and i hope that in the near future there will be a long-term contract entered into for gas deliveries from the united states and that through this we will diversify sources of supply of this hugely important raw material to poland. in a few moments, we will attend a summit where we will discuss issues pertaining to energy security and pertaining to the development of the

and polish president duda and donald trump addressed a news conference.e president coming down strong on north korea and nato allies, hitting that to present and spending on their own defense, kristin fisher in the press conference, kristin. >> let's start with russia, one day away from donald trump's first face-to-face with vladimir putin and active press conference that wrapped up 30 minutes ago, he said definitively that he believed it was russia behind meddling in the us election. he also said older countries could have been involved as well. the big question is will donald trump bring this up face-to-face with the first time with vladimir putin. at this press conference, barack obama, for not doing more, in august from the cia, three month before the election. here's what he said moment ago, listen. >> barack obama when he was president found out about this in terms of if it were russia, found out about it in august. the election was in november. that is a lot of time he did nothing about it. why did he do nothing about it. >> reporter: as for the mo

thank you, god bless you, god bless the polish people.s and god bless the united states of america. thank you. god bless you. thank you very much. >> president trump in a speech obviously very well received where he was in warsaw, poland we were told by the white house it was going to be about 20 minutes. it ran closer to almost a half hour, i think. >> he started at 21 or 22, i think. >> a little bit after that and stayed on script for the most part, but it was interrupted by some interesting moments of chants of usa and something i couldn't quite make out that sounded like it ended in trump we'll find out later exactly i don't speak polish, but ending with maybe it was viva trump or up with trump. >> it's probably why the speech took longer is he paused so many times for the applause that was there. >> it was -- it has been pointed out quite a bit of history there, going back centuries with the history of poland. called poland the geographic center and spiritual center of europe. >> cited john paul ii, the pope. >> didn't necessarily ma

as you know, the polish americans came out in d roves. the polish americans came out in droves.ted in the last election and i was very happy with that result, so i want to thank you and them. it is a true honour to be here in poland. it is a majestic nation, it really is. it's a spectacular place, some of the most beautiful sights that we saw coming over. really very inspirational. you're rich in history, and you have absolutely an unbreakable spirit. that is something we have learned over the course of many years. the president and i concluded a productive meeting in which we reaffirmed our enduring bonds of friendship and hadleigh united our citizens for a long time —— and we have united our citizens. we have never been closer to poland than we are now. poland is not only a friend, but an important ally and partner with respect to our military. we have had great cooperations with poland. we have fought shoulder to shoulder in many different encounters. particularly grateful for the role poland different encounters. particularly gratefulfor the role poland has taken in helping

of striking polish workers included free press, release of political prisoners and right to strike.sumed the risk of striking illegally. >> along comes solidarity, but it's not a union run by communists. it is a union run by polish patriots, so it is a tremendous threat to the ussr because of the possible contagion. it would just wipe out communism if it were allowed to spread. >> some of the principle players in this country's season of discontent spend the season reinforcing the link between poland workers and the catholic church. >> it is important to understand solidarity without the impact of pope john paul ii. >> the soviets are nervous about john paul ii, he is anti-communist and beloved by the poles. these pressures are forcing the pole live government to figure out how to keep control. >> the strike by polish ship yard workers is over. for the polish strikers, it was a day worthy of hyperbole, lek what les is a telling his followers we are now co-masters of this land. >> lek what les is a and solidarity are showing that you could have an independent union in a communist cou

he didn't go there, but my point is he did salute polish resilience and polish resistance at a horrible time in our history. and he also said at the end, god bless our allies. and that's significant. mike pence was at the wilson center about a week and a half ago and he said america first does not mean america alone. i think trump's task during this trip, which is going to be very hard, is to persuade our allies that america first does not mean america alone. and there've been some missteps i thought in the earlier press conference, but this speech mostly was on the right -- was in the right tone on the right path. and he said something i really strongly believe that defense depends on will, confidence, strong values, those are things frankly that need to be restored. and he could help this not just in america but around the world. he's my president too. i want him to succeed representing our country. and that's a crucial part of this. he's not just the president of the republican party or the trump organization. he's the president of the united states of america and our history and our

imagine this non-polish president, protestant president, and he says to this polish pope, hope remains in poland. we come a together, can keep it alive. one of the cardinal's -- week, together, can keep it alive. one of the cardinals put it this way. what he called the holy alliance. this is an amazing statement. nobody believed the collapse of communism would happen this faster in this timetable. but in their first meeting together, the holy father and the president committed themselves and the institutions of the church and america to such a goal. imagine that. and from that day, the focus was to bring it about. the focus was to bring it about. in poland, it would be the crack in the soviet bloc. the whole block would split from top to bottom. the solidarity movement could be the dagger to the heart of the soviet empire. that's how they saw it. . pretty remarkable. they would go on to meet five times after that. 1982, 1984, june 1987, september 1987. the cover of my book -- i love the picture -- i said, please to the editor, put that picture on the cover of the book. it's from miami

the polish authorities deserve respect and we expect and demand respect. >> the polish constitution states matters of the judiciary and its organization are internal rights of our state. the plans for judicial reform have led to mass protests for days. with positions hardening chances of a quick solution appear unlikely. >> tonight, 12,000 people evacuated from their homes in southern france as wildfires burn on the mediterranean coast. they have been caused by extreme weather across europe. drought is hitting much of the south. heavy rains are battling the north. southern europe is gasping for breath. along france's mediterranean coast, a combination of high temperatures, strong wind and dry air has led to raging wildfires. overnight 10,000 people were forced to flee their homes. france is not alone. portugal and italy have been battling the flames. it has been a different story in northern europe. heavy rain and storms have led to flooding. in norway, this town was practically washed away. germany has been battered by downpours. some of the worst flooding is in the north. the residence w

recalled one young polish woman.t to her in fact she said the dangerous sector of the street was soaked in blood it is the blood of messages. they shot at anybody who crossed. they were being shot at. there soldiers burned every building on the street and the use them as he is -- human shields for their tanks. the enemy never ceased this relentless assault. and the polish never ceased its defense. jerusalem avenue passage required constant protection repair and reinforcement but the real -- the well of the defenders did not back down even to the face of death. the fragile crossing never ever failed. it was never ever forgotten. it was kept open by the polish people. the memories of those who perish cry out across the decade those heroes remind us that the west was saved. each generation must rise up and play its part in its defense. and that every foot of ground and every last inch of civilization's is worth defending with your life. our own fight to the west. it begins with the mind, the souls and the wells. they ar

a lot. -- polish a lot. -- polish law. >> they want to take over all of the power and judicial power. >> the president proposed to replace one a law that breaks the constitution with another that breaks the constitution. it it does not make any difference. >> the role party said it would overrule and an efficient court system. the court said the law and justice proposals are leaving poland the wrong way. molly: venezuela, a nationwide strike with plans to rewrite the constitution struck down much of the capital on thursday. violence broke out leaving at least two people dead. they are demanding new presidential elections. is president maduro promising to push ahead with the country's government despite the protests. the opposition is calling for more rallies on a saturday. here's more from our core responded to. >> the plan is to make the country ungovernable to write a new constitution. they say they are going to increase the national pressure to make maduro sitting down and scratch the votes and negotiate a political position. on friday, the opposition announced new magistrate and

the european union sees that the polish government, the law and justice party government threatens polishit for tonight. before we go, in an unbridled abuse of presenter power this morning, i insisted we end the show with scotland versus england at the european football championships in utrecht tonight. i wonder how my lot got on? goodnight. it is the first real opportunity. it has been taken. clean off the line. they followed it. and taylor again. what an effort from her. it is on the side and history is made. a free header and then touched in. it is six right at the death. there has been enough energy in the atmosphere to produce further thunderstorms across parts of north wales and north—west england as well. they began through the afternoon, shown clearly here. flush flooding reported in the rural area. they continued to journey northwards. dramatic scenes of torrential rain with the flash flooding. quite a wet night to come for much of scotland. for england and wales, patchy rain at times. quite a warm and humid night across central and eastern areas but something fresher pushing in

of natural gas by the polish, of u.s. natural gas. he will also be giving a speech. it is being seen as a speech to all of europe. we have just seen some clips from that speech, where the president will be striking a more populist and nationalist tone, talking about the threats to the culture and the bonds that taught europe together, a very implicit reference to the migration that is affecting various parts of europe, in which paul iolish leaders have pushed back against. polish leaders have separated themselves from the rest of europe by having a more nationalistic policy on immigration and pushing back against the media. the president will be speaking to the press and to the polish people here today and after that, he will be going to the g-20, where he is likely to face more of an antagonistic audience on issues like trade and climate change. they have separated the u.s. from the rest of europe. francine: what is the president's message? he shows up at g-20, we know angela merkel wants to promote globalization and fre

america loves the polish people. thank you.ave not only greatly this region, but polish-americans have greatly enriched the united states, and i was truly proud to have their support in the 2016 election. [applause] it is a profound honor to stand in this city by this monument to the warsaw uprising and to address the polish nation that so many generations have dreamed of. that is safe, strong, and free. [applause] and your duda wonderful first lady have welcomed us with a tremendous warmth and kindness for which poland is known around the world. thank you. i sincere, and i mean sincerely, think both of them and the prime minister. a very special thanks also. that the former president, so famous for leading the solidarity movement, has joined us today also. thank you. thank you. behalf of all americans, let me also think the entire -- thank the entire polish people in the generosity you have shown in welcoming our soldiers to your country. they are brave defenders of freedom and symbols of america's commitment to your security

but on the polish side at least, that's apparently what they offered to get him there. after this trip to poland today, the president will go to germany for the g20 summit, where what was supposed to be a face-to-face meeting withes have, wihave with vladimir putin, it will be a full bilateral meeting. there has not been a meeting between the president of the united states and the president of russia for two years, since russia annexed crimea and made it part of russia. putin, from an american perspective, earned that isolation with his international behavior, with his international aggression. how exactly has he earned his way out of that? how has he earned a face-to-face full scale bilateral meeting with the u.s. president? what has he done to deserve that meeting in that respect? other than launching a massive cyberattack on our presidential election last year and threatening to shoot down u.s. jets over syria and sending fighter jets to buzz american ships and planes all over the world, and allegations that russian firms are selling weapons and oil to north korea as

polish society is very divided, and this division now goes much deeper.s like it is one step too far. no one says the ruling party doesn't have a right to propose the changes, or implement reforms, but the way they are doing this and what they are proposing is very controversial and needs wide political debate. but the government is not open to that. so the question would be how are we able to build the community and how are to be able to live under the one roof, if we just want to accept one point of view and polish society as a very difficult and complicated history. there are people who think many different ways here. not all the people support the party. so the question is are we still able to make a dialogue to discuss. by the way, this is exactly why people go out in the streets to protest and this is really serious. the protests are massive all over the country, because we are very much for the dialogue — this is how we started our transformation process. if you remember, in the late ‘80s, even before the berlin wall collapsed, we had round table d

he will meet the polish president.first, so early in his presidency, rather than perhaps to a more traditional big ally like germany, france or britain. we will bring you more on that later. the uk outlook is on the way in the next half—hour. around the world, the weather is reverting to climatology, which means it is doing what it should do where it should do at this time of the year. we still have some extremes. flooding rains due to the monsoon across parts of asia, on the other extreme this heater that is still there across the us and parts of the middle east. the highest temperatures in the us are in the south—west, in arizona, where we still have wildfires raging. at least it is not windy, but there is no sign of any rain nor, indeed, across many western parts of north america. further east, very different. heavy rain stretches across georgia into kentucky towards virginia, heavy thundery showers further north around the great la kes lakes and eastern canada. wet weather across central america. one area that shou

the president has arrived in warsaw, the polish capital.e greeted by the foreign minister. it comes at a time he is probably more popular than he is anywhere else in europe, and by a significant factor, as john roberts touched on. the polish leadership and the president are kindred spirits, climate change, traditional energy uses, such as coal. the president and melania trump arriving in warsaw. no events planned tonight. tomorrow, of course, they go down and speaking in warsaw square, addressing the polish people to work in tandem with each other and they are kindred spirits. the former u.s. s cole commander, i'm sure you want to get a clarification or a clearer position on the part of the world's reaction to this north korean latest missile threat, this is the 8th under president trump. they have been escalating this almost to taunt him. but the president, more or less today, said i'm extending my frustration to china, because they obviously haven't done enough. i'm paraphrasing here. do you think he is right, by going after at least two

clearly it is the achilles heel of the polish economy.ght have been more longer discussed with the president and .hould be based on discussions mark: the next attempt to reform -- >> the country vetoed this and said that if you were to present the legislation. if we were to over-vote, the veto is not possible in the parliament. the previous legislation is close, and now the move will be made by the president. mark: the european commission addresses the matter, as you know. how important was the climbed out in your relations with the eu? euour relationships with the .re not so rosy i believe there was lots of misunderstandings in all of this. everybody agrees that the judiciary system needs reform not too much are changes after 1989. now the reform has to be thought the judges, president, parliament, opposition parties. we will see what the next proposition will be. mark: are you ready to take measures in case market sentiment does turn against you? whether the euro or the dollar is down a percent or so since the end of last week, are you
