that you have to change but the demonstrators in warsaw have made clear that opposition to the reforms along with the e.u. they're set to keep up the pressure on the polish government. brussels bureau chief max hoffman has been following that debate in the european parliament he outlined the use next steps article seven procedure of the groundwork for that is already laid what does that mean article seven eventually could lead to the stripping of the e.u. voting rights of poland although that seems highly unlikely because some countries have already said they would veto something like that especially hungary although you never know how it's really going to turn out in the end but something that could really hurt poland is the money because they're getting a large amount actually the biggest amount of the cohesion fund. funding from the european union and there has been talk and there have been lots of discussions about tying those funds to the state. of the country in this in this case of course we're talking about the judicial system in poland if this is really the case they get less

but no doubt this is going to be a long long and heavy protest david chain to life for us there in warsaw thanks david now german chancellor angela merkel is making her last speech to parliament before the summer break that's after the compromise deal with her main coalition partner the christian social union to limit the number of asylum seekers arriving in germany she's also met other coalition of the center left social democrats to see if they will accept the deal alive now to dominate kaine who is in berlin for saddam and what is the situation right now regarding migration . well that's the topic that's on the tip of the tongues of everybody in the parliament today because this today this is a debate which will see all the main party leaders effectively speaking in parliament addressing issues that they consider to be of concern and this one migration is at the top of the agenda for angela merkel as you were saying in the introduction. she has still some negotiation to go through she agreed a deal to a certain extent with her very and conservative allies but they're only one branch of

will of the government and that is the situation of the moment more protests are expected here in warsaw some time later this afternoon and the solidarity leader elect for when who was so crucial in the downfall of the communist regime here in poland in one thousand nine hundred nine is said that he might attend to support the cause of the protesters around the supreme court david chaytor life there in warsaw thanks very much. and the u.k. two people have been exposed to an unknown substance in a town close to where a former russian spy and his daughter were poisoned police say a man and a woman are in critical condition after being found in amesbury thirteen kilometers from salzburg that's where the that's where surrogate and yulia script for were attacked with a nerve agent in march the latest case has been declared a major incident but there is not believed to be a wider risk as north korea improves relations with the u.s. an area of china their borders north korea is seeing a property boom future investors are hopeful of a complete lifting of sanctions on the north in the hopes that

all right so let's speak now to tavy chain live for us in warsaw last we heard the judges decided to go back to work once effectively happened inside the court then who's in charge. that's a very good question and one merged none of us can really answer at the moment but the twenty seven judges returned to their offices despite being made redundant facing early retirement beginning that retirement today so they wanted to continue with this standoff they accuse the government of launching a purge of the supreme court of breaking constitutional law but what does the government think well i have with me the vice minister of justice here in warsaw to answer those charges constitutional breaking the law or the constitutional law and launching a purge of the supreme court how do you answer those charges well it's not true. you can say but some think it's against the constitution. because in our jurisdiction in poland on the constitution not a court can declare in the law unconstitutional or forest no verdict like this so it means serve at the law reforming supreme court. came into force. t

speak now to david live for us in warsaw is it any clearer now exactly is in charge in those called stave it. sammy a very good question we're in the middle of a very complex political and legal situation here as you said the chief justice the former chief justice returned to her desk at the supreme court behind me saying that she was there to defend legal order of a country to defend the law of poland because she says that her job and the other twenty six justices who dismissed and forced into early retirement had legal guarantees under the constitution to continue with that term but the justice vice justice minister told me earlier today as you heard that as far as he was concerned they were welcome to go back to their desk in the supreme court but they went back as ordinary citizens with no the trappings all the powers that office used to hold for them so to help me try and work out where we are in this complex legal situation i have with me professor of law from warsaw university it's a limbo isn't it who's actually in charge who's actually right it is produced by a huge proving a con

well i speak now to david chaytor who is live for us in warsaw so a real standoff here developing then between the judges and their supporters on one side and the government on the other. that's right there were several hundred demonstrators giving us a boisterous welcome outside the supreme court to the twenty seven judges who were forced into early retirement today by this new measure which lowe's the retire on the day of the supreme court from seventy to sixty five now the judges say that this is essentially a purge and what the government wants to do is take control of the highest legal institution in the land they've already got control of the media they got control of the constitutional tribunals and now they're getting control of the supreme court behind me they can put in their own men on the benches people who will be much more pliant to the government will now of course this is going to be an increasing amount of momentum in the demonstrations not only here in warsaw but across poland as a whole more than sixty towns and countries overnight also saw demonstrations against the

there is at the protest in warsaw david how big a protest is this. as. well the dubbers several thousand here in warsaw around the steps of the supreme court and there are similar demonstrations in one hundred other cities and parts of poland so it's a big reaction to be broken for the coast guard. very much it's the older generation of people who know this experience the one party state of communism the lunacon of communism which ended in one thousand nine hundred nine and they fear very much that what is happening now under the law and justice party and others purge of the supreme court for dissent of the judges will be out of the job in the stroke of midnight they fear that this is essentially turning once again back in history to the old one party state where one party controls everything from a single center and i think that is the major conservative of most people here who experience those times on the promises of the judges how they reacted to the law. well this is a very unusual situation we just had the the chief justice the president of the sup

government accusing it of undermining the independence of the judiciary david schaper reports from warsaw. thousands of demonstrators converged on the steps of the supreme court where forty percent of the judges are losing their jobs it was described by the chief justice as a political perch. but the ruling lauren justice party described them as part of a self-serving elite out of touch with ordinary people but testers across the country accuse the government of undermining the constitution with a power grab in the highest sanctum of the law aiming to fill its benches with judges who bend to their will. the spokesman for the supreme court said tragically history was repeating itself in poland turning back towards the one party state of the communist era. indeed we are seeing a breaking of the principle of the partition of power and then mutual balancing of the different kinds of power in favor of a uniform state power seeing the entire state from a single center the protesters have one powerful ally on their side though the european commission in brussels they've started legal proceedings

that is left over from the communist era let's go through this with michelle abroad tough ski in warsaw he's contributing editor at politico a welcome to d.w. so the chief justice went to work today at her protest will she actually be able to continue working she's working she. gleg you meeting girls welsh or her team in the morning after arriving at work she said she signed some decisions so she's in she's working because she considers. the law which is forcing her out. that you should know because the constitution express it. expressly says that. the first president of the supreme court of poland has a six year term she has been there only for four years so do you have the side now of the country's supreme court justice that the chief justice at loggerheads with the government so what happens next. well as long as they don't take her forcibly out. she's operating because the executive power has has. no power when in fact. to remove her all to replace all do whatever the president nominate. a replacement the problem is that it has to be a lawyer a judge from the supreme court already j

think about the speech he made in warsaw last august. is that our number one priority is defense of western's to civilization. he talked at that time about what i problem russian natural gas was going to be. for any other president that was so provocative, he goes to nato and has a partner discussion to say, look, this alliance, i'm trying to make it stronger. the problem is what nato has turned into is a protector. >> it's not just for the american people, it's not just that germany is only paying 1.2% of their gdp. they are positive in their budget, they have plenty of cash. it's only 1.2%. but if you look at what they are spending it on, it's not on equipment. it's a 128 german combat aircraft, only seven are prepared to be fully operational. what president trump said today, the key to the trump doctrine, no more managed decline. the elites in in the world mand to process to unacceptable outcomes to citizens. and he said, i'm not doing that anymore. and instead of waiting until 2,024, and if you don't. you should be in arrears. trump

in fact, warsaw, indiana in my district, is known as the -- indiana, in my district, is known as the orthopedic capital of the world. there's no doubt this tax was incredibly destructive while it was in effect. data from the u.s. department of commerce indicates that 29,000 jobs were lost in the industry between 2012 and 2015. suspension of the tax has reduced some of the damage, but the long-term investments and planning are impossible without full repeal. without permanent repeal, we will never be able to fully recover the jobs destroyed by obamacare and patients will continue to be denied new life-saving products. the protect medical innovation act will ensure that the medical device industry does not just survive, but thrives, and this commonsense and bipartisan legislation would permanently repeal the medical device tax and thereby remove a mindless roadblock to economic growth and patient health. i want to thank my friend, again, representative paulsen, for his tireless efforts on this issue. and i urge my colleagues to support passage of h.r. 184. with that, i yield back. the

among the highlights was campaigners narration in a survivor from warsaw a walk by the renowned austrian composer on north shore and back to. see. if thank you thanks for the force of the campaign i was making a statement with the schoenberg piece very clear statement. so the fact that he's doing that and that we're doing it together even though we come from such a different world is really wonderful. what's called. the band also played some of their own protest songs self-taught rock musicians accompanied by a virtual classical orchestra. and . we had to get used to a few things by the conductor signals. on certain expressions we didn't know. those guys in the band we can't even read music. but in the end it's about playing the notes and music amenities you know i was a little bit nervous about the timing if i'm going to hear everybody and if it's going to be on the point. it was remarkably easy. compared to how i imagined it would be it was great and it's a few times for the common dogs this is called the common in. because i wasn't a big hit but it does express what tonight is about g

that included the warsaw pact, russia and so forth. pretty much like dreep dropping a meat oction on the problem if we were attacked. schlessinger said i can't take 24 options to nixon. he's not going to take 24 options. so, we had to reduce it to 12. and that's when selective and flexible nuclear response and people started thinking about, well, maybe nuclear war can be fought a little bit. you can either et strike just the soviet force in the warsaw pact, western ussr, you can strike the allied forces, you can strike some cities, you can strike just naval forces. that's the way the thing was wr rewritten in the mid-'70s, as well as leadership targets which we worked on with demographers. something we figured out that really got the russian's attention was demographic groups because the soviet union is run by -- i can't quite remember. i think great russians and then a little bit bigger group is light russians and then a bigger group is russians and then there's everybody else. and the guy that run everything are in a pretty culturall

must win for the sake of future generations and i speak now to david chaytor who is live for us in warsaw so david it looks like a real standoff is developing now between these judges in their supporters and the government on the other side. as i'm that's right it's.

today, you can find the warsaw pact, or at least major parts of the war plan on the internet. they've been made available. then secretary of defense casper weinberger stated in his annual report through the congress in 1985, "if we are to maintain a responsible nuclear deterrent against attack on our allies, as well as against nuclear attacks on the united states, we have to continue to exploit our comparative advantage in technology." since the send of the reagan administration, we have allowed this to erode. indeed, laden in the obama administration, senior pentagon officials talked about our losing our lead in technology. and they were talking about generally, not about nuclear in specific. in the nuclear area, we have allowed our position to decline, because we retired some of the most advanced systems that were developed and deployed under the reagan administration and in the years -- some of them in the years and beyond that. today, russia and china have massive nuclear modernization programs. and that's a description of the russia program by the russian defense minister

there is no more 500 soviet divisions, no more warsaw pact. come on. it's metamore far sizing and has been since the fall of the berlin wall. because of deep historical traditions in germany, vis-a-vis the united states and world war i, world war ii, the division of east and west germany, germany has some deep-seated ambiguities about nato and about russia and about the united states. the problem is not donald trump. it predated him. it was with george bush. it was with barack obama. germany has to get its act together and decide what it wants to do, and if it wants to cut a deal putin and feel that russia is a more favorable country than the united states and if it doesn't want to spend money on its own defense, then it should tell us. we can adjust accordingly. >> laura: the free ride is over. >> it's a german, not an american problem. >> laura: the free ride is over. americans made that clear in this last election. carrying everybody on our backs. we want to have a good relationship but it's got to be honest and give-and-take. i want to play somethi
