see, they are marching with polish symbols , the symbols of the european union, they are chanting donald tuskmocracy and other slogans, such democratically patriotic tusk operative politicians called on people to come out against the ruling party, against the lies , against the increase in tariffs for fair elections that will be held in of poland in the fall, and for a democratic and european poland , the fact that the polish president recently signed the law on the creation of a commission that will investigate russian influence and the opposition believes that thanks to this commission they will be able to prosecute opposition politicians here there are representatives of various opposition parties, in particular there is the mayor of warsaw, this person has the position of the president of warsaw , that's what he's called, and now all the people are heading to the castle square and the event will be in the evening itself, we will have the opportunity to talk in more detail with ordinary poles, why are they here, what is their motivation, and we will talk about it in the next issues, so we

we have just had an update from that rally from donald tusk, he has addressed those protesters and youto me. he said they were showing they would not let themselves be broken or intimidated and he also then went on to introduce the former polish president who brought democracy to poland and mr tusk said there are thousands of us, people with poland in the hearts and we will bring you more on events from warsaw throughout the course of the day. now it's time for a look at today's sport. let's start with the french open — with place in the quarter finals to play for on both the men's and women's singles. novak djokovic is up next, on the main phillip chatrier court. currently on court in the men's — lorenzo sonego is a set up against karen khachanov. 6—1 he won the first set. in the evening game — aryna sabalenka, the women's second seed, is in action against sloane stephens. real madrid have announced their captain karim benzema is leaving the club. the french striker has been at the bernabeu for 1h years sincejoining from lyon, having won five champions leagues, and four la liga titles

what , for example, is this donald tusk, the former prime minister, who now actually heads this coldosition party that he, for example, cooperated with russia numbers him nice photos from 2009, you can look on google how he met with putin, and therefore if the right-wing justice loses in the elections and there is a new coalition with a public platform, then this commission will say that, unfortunately, fantusk cannot be the prime minister here the main problem is that we have an institution that is not a court, and we have an institution that can very quickly prohibit anyone , especially representatives of the opposition, from participating in political life , and there is also a third point. i apologize, but they already say that the results of the research of this commission it will be the beginning of september. well, i think, and i think you can confirm that if you do such serious research work, either at the level of science or at the level of journalism, as you do , you need a little more time, and not just in a month or two, and why in principle, photos of vladimir putin and

opposition thinks that this can be done contribute to the persecution of polish oppositionists and donald tusksh opposition politics had a word from the stage today, who expressed the hope that the poles will be in the spring oi in the autumn in the elections, they are just as united as in today's march, this event was particularly supported by the mayor of warsaw, merkdanska, the mayor of białystok and the ex-president of poland , oleg wałęsa, in general, the action was peaceful, there were a lot of law enforcement officers, people marched with patriotic symbols, with polish and european flags, which google- shouted slogans related to the democracy of freedom and, er, they also shouted the name of donald tusk, and i would also like to say that this is a special day for poland. on june 4 , many years ago, the first partially democratic parliamentary elections in poland after the second world war . in general, the atmosphere at the event was positive and many people came from different parts of poland. i have everything iryna. politicians of the ruling national democratic party , law and justic

but of course, theyjust wanted to call in one person, donald tusk, and they are inventing those paranoidlitical tool. we do have our prosecutors. we do have ourjudges and our courts. and they should be the ones, if there is any allegation of misconduct, to be able to actually prosecute the case and then decide in the face of law in our courts and this kind of special committee of parliament with special powers, this is like a bolshevik measure. it has nothing to do with democracy. 0k. and the government clearly challenged that and say that this is very necessary and russian influence really does need to be investigated. now, we understand president duda's now asked for the law to be changed. does that address some of the concerns that you have then? well, that was very strange because the president didn't veto this act. he could have done it. he simply accepted it. and then after three days, she decided to change it considerably. but of course, that means that he either didn't read the law or that he was just under so much pressure from europe and from the west that he decided to change

of course, theyjust wanted to call on one - theyjust wanted to call on one person, donald tusk.. of course it is a political tool. we do have are prosecutors, we do have ourjudges, and our courts, and they should be the ones, if there is any allegation of misconduct, to be able to actually prosecute the case, and then decide in the face of law in our courts. this kind of special committee of parliament with special powers, this is like a bolshevik measure. it has nothing to do with democracy. the measure. it has nothing to do with democracy-— measure. it has nothing to do with democra . ,., . ., , democracy. the government clearly challen . e democracy. the government clearly challenge that. _ democracy. the government clearly challenge that, and _ democracy. the government clearly challenge that, and say _ democracy. the government clearly challenge that, and say that - democracy. the government clearly challenge that, and say that this - democracy. the government clearly challenge that, and say that this is l challenge that, and say that this is very necessary, and russian inf

look, i can see from today's rally that donald tusk's civic platform has support because it is quitest of all, want to live in a state governed by the rule of law, they want to live in a country where elections are not stolen from them. well, they obviously do not want to quarrel with part of europe which they are a sovereign part of. well, will the opposition be able to put pressure on the current government and how can it all be, how can it all continue, well , look. first of all, as a ukrainian, i need to talk about what is happening in poland, although just now, unfortunately, i was a witness to this rally, as i had many other very interesting meetings. it is obvious that the rally was provoked by the laws that were signed by the president of the club about the so-called russian influence. did you mention the independent commission formed by the parliament? now the ruling party piz will determine the entry by russian influence themselves , and whoever was will not have the right to engage in politics, well, obviously , it can be paralleled if we had such a thing, for example , if

the former published prime minister, donald tusk from the opposition civic platform party let the march in warsaw. he was joined by less. but once though, the leader of the solidarity movement, who played a key role and toppling communism 34 years ago, they and hundreds of thousands of their supporters fear democracy is being eroded under the current government. the democracy dies in silence, so we will no longer be silent, erased your voice is in the name of $30000000.00 polls for democracy so that it doesn't die against the daily attacks against its foundation by yarborough's love, cousin, ski and the government. many protesters decided to join after the governing law and justice party passed controversial new legislation. the law sets up a commission to investigate russian influence and published politics in the past 16 years. it has the power to band people from public office. many of the demonstrators here believe it's aimed at donald to us and could pay the way to on fair elections. go about, let's leave it as a cancer, as a talking our country month. those are government is leadi

the opposition believes that this may be directed in particular against the polish opposition of donald tuskly, they will lose their electoral rights eh, hm, from my point of view, the level of eh, russian influence in poland is the lowest, and in all countries, not only central eastern europe, but in general in europe, such a commission should have been created in any european country, because you yourself know very well what level and nature of russian russian influence in different countries of europe. strategic and so on . you know. we had such a commission, and it would have to recommend two tank divisions, and it would have a lot of work . of the second reason, and on the other hand, russian influence, even though it was low in poland, it was and it is still there. here are all these sleeping russians. they are in poland. i can even try to guess who it is. and that's why in order not to guess so that we do not accuse each other of who is a russian spy , such a commission in my opinion is necessary from my point of view if it is necessary to solve this diabolical alternative use it to g

that the law is directed against the leader of the opposition, the ex-premier of the country, donald, tuskalso not our friend there pathetically called his adoption of a form of defense of the interests of speech, the commonwealth in the answer in the publication gazeta wyborcza, the former head of poland's military counterintelligence janusz nosik said that it is not the opposition, the ruling party, the quote is thoroughly saturated with russian agents, the apogee is the theater of the absurd will reach sunday june 4 opposition kremlin agent staged a massive protest in poland against russian spies in power. oh what a good look. amedia burst out. after the president signed the law on the investigation of russian influence in poland , the liberal wordpress tried to exclude opposition leader donald tusk from the election campaign with harsh statements made by the european commissioner. didier rangers and the united states department of state i. i really don't understand. how does the russian investigation influence on poland in 16 years can damage the search for democracy, most likely the d

donald tusk how many from the stage called on people to show the same unity at the parliamentary electionscame from different parts of the country, there were no incidents, 8 years of the current government , unfortunately, they showed a lot of lies, constant price increases, high inflation, the government does not cope with these problems, in fact, nothing is done everything is hidden, this is not the road to the future, this is the avoidance of real problems, the way out of the european union in such a direction as belarus the authorities are violating the constitution and this is already happening several times years recently passed such a law, which leads to the level of belarus and sports news, the ukrainian and russian elina svitolina reached the quarterfinals of the roland garros main draw in the last match, our athlete defeated the russian daria ekasatkina, this is her fourth appearance, and thus the athlete repeated her best result at the tournament the french open championship is also continued by another ukrainian lesya tsurenko today in the round of 18, her opponent will be the

an extreme right, yes, this law has little time left, or can it be directed personally against donald tuskove a child against you represent the former president of europe, they hate him to that extent. when they re-elected tuzka as the president of europe , the polish government was the only one who voted against it, even orban voted for 27.1, they then lost in europe, they simply hate him because he always proved that he he is a polish patriot , and secondly, a successful international politician is a pole who was the president of europe, they want to accuse him of being under russian influence, absolutely ridiculous, incredible and that's how they went, actually. this is tomorrow's action that the poles will hold. will they go to the opposition march? will they listen to the poles? will the government listen to the poles ? how polish women protested in connection with the fact that abortion was banned. not only revenge , not only the first thing, because it concerns them, but they were also supported by men, such conscious people , because there was even a case that a woman in poland who

target opposition politicians in an election year — and in particular the former prime minister donald tuskngth. we're here today so that poland, europe and the world see how strong we are, how many of us are ready, just like back then, 30, a0 years ago, to fight again for a democratic and free poland, for our rights. this voice will not be stopped. that giant has woken up. i'm proud that i can be here and say, "we will win." the polish government strongly refuted accusations that their actions are undemocratic — and stressed that, in their view, today's protest was an election rally, as the country will head to the polls later this year. the host of the march, the mayor of warsaw, rafal trzaskowski, gave the bbc an exclusive interview earlier. let's hear from him well, it was incredible. half a million people — we haven't seen such crowds on the streets of warsaw for the past 30 years. and people just wanted to demonstrate that they have enough of this populist government, that they want a poland which is tolerant, which is open, which is european, and also, yes, in protest to some of the

in the very center, we saw former prime minister donald tusk, we saw when president oleh valensa, thise biggest central square, the square of warsaw, and people protesting against the conservatism of today's polish government, we in ukraine love it, it helps us a lot, that's right , mr. oleg absolutely said that there is multi-party support here, i would even say all-party support for ukraine, whatever which polish party supports the ukrainians so that nothing is in danger for us, but the poles do not want conservatism, that is, now the pendulum has swung in the other direction, which means that they ran, ran, overtook everyone, attracting themselves to europe then they slowed down, then they scratched and sweated, they said stop, stop, are we europeans after all, or are we just some pro-russian territory and they are now doing what we see , let's say, well, at least let's stop slowing down on our way to europeanness, but i have another question, let's move from the west to the east to russia, you and i know each other personally, we often talk. i see that you are a person who looks ve
