i can give you some examples during the day he would share refugee debate in europe poland refused to take any refugees and. was the politician who said i the refugees the foreigners are welcome to the city of diets and he also invited that far in the city since leaving in the diocese to become a part of the of his advisory board he also expressed his. concern and his story directly with the jewish community when the synagogue of diocese was attacked he was supporting sexual education in schools he was supporting. movement and he was a very clear he was a leader i put this in with very very clear opinions i don't what is being said about the suspect and his motives. well now that. this person is the mark there is is in the rest and i have the last information is the chief prosecutor is saying that there are doubts. that mental state of the art of care. and psyche out three so we examine him. we know that seventy is twenty seven years old murderer was charged. and man who is now in charge of of attempted murder. is facing to spend his life in prison he was before that before that he wa

are something which for many politicians also in poland and in europe. in their opinion can it be it can be dangerous. can cause lead to talk out the most fear of hate which can lead to such criminal. like this political martyr in poland six days ago so this is the reason also why different from other countries are here today also the polish high ranking politicians like prime minister and president are attending but also. who was a close friend assassinated mayor also from is now the president of the european council he is here and also the former president of germany many and many mayors of german and other cities in europe this is a message going here from poland today from. a warning. to the european people and call them and political divisions and to have more tolerance and understanding. ok thank you for that monica. turning to mexico now where government officials say at least sixty six people have died and dozens more were hurt when a ruptured fuel pipeline exploded the disaster happened one hundred kilometers north of mexico city residents from t

in western europe -- the poor countries of western europe. >> poland. >> tucker: poland is not a core in western europe. >> you are willing to feed all of eastern europe, even the countries like poland that are our allies and part of nato and say we should only protect western europe? because once eastern europe goes, then western europe is threatened. >> tucker: we're almost done.ed you think there is a plausible threat within our lifetimes of, say, the u.k., germany, belgium, litten liechtenstein, switzerland, spain, portugal, being invaded by russia? >> i'm not saying that. what i'm saying is all of the other e countries in eastern europe, including the ones whoo joined nato fell, n of course te next frontier for russia expansionism would be western europe. that's obvious, iio think. >> tucker: not obvious at all to me but keep trying. great to see you, david. >> thank you. >> tucker: christian whiton joins us tonight. when did bill kristol take over the democratic party?s did you notice when that happened? >> yeah.tpp it's amazing the turn when this group that used to bezi very re

europe it is also a warning it is also a call. the political divisions shouldn't be deepened because not only poland is a divided country but also a whole europe this is a problem in other countries so this is a warning and a call for more understanding and more tolerance in all over the continent monica said after reporting for us thank you very much. being remembered for his civic engagement in his hometown and also for his willingness to speak up about his convictions. danske is a city overcome by grief. thousands of residents braved freezing temperatures to join me a powerful coffin on its final journey. past the schools you attended and the childhood home in which his parents still live. winding through the streets of a city he governed for over two decades. sadness here is equaled only by horror horror at the killing of a man celebrated by many for his liberal values and his criticism of the conservative ruling law and justice party. to everyone homosexuals refugees everyone could come here. now say first everyone mourns together and then the accuse each other. the mayor was stabbed on sunday while on stage at a children's c

now i would put 30% in latin another 30% america, brazil, argentina, and another 30% in eastern europe, polandnd romania in particular, and the rest in china and other parts of asia. markad: well, interesting, , you mentioned china last. how bad do you think the economy is getting? is that something making you rather reluctant, perhaps, to be in there as you have in the past? k: the economy is doing fine. if you look at 6% growth for an economy of that size, there is no problem. and, yes, there are problems with the debt. the question is who will get hurt the most with the high debt. there is no question that the government will bail out the big will be mediume and small size companies that will go sideways. i think that is happening. if you look at the number of bankruptin -- bankruptcies in china, it is increasing and will continue. there is a big cleaning out to take place, and in that environment you have to be cautious. david: mark, always a pleasure to have you on the program. mark mobius joining us live out of singapore. if you missed that interview, tv is the function for our inte

so but if you look across europe though a pleasure. like poland hungary and of course the u.k. negative attitudes towards the e.u. on the rise the germans still love the use it because germans just enjoy being regulated and being bossed around by authority. that's that's an interesting perspective i would say as a little bit to do with the nationalism and the rise of nationalism populism in many of the countries that you mention i think it could also have to do with the negative publicity that the e.u. has had for years with and they say about talking about the additional layer the additional costs it's just a regulation without mentioning any of the benefits perhaps i could say germany sitting at the heart of europe experiences more of the benefits of evil doing a lot for the they're profiting a lot worse huge export nation and as a result are profiting the more we can save the a you to actually protect our market and encourage a combined competition toward the rest of the world the more the e.u. will be seen as a benefit so not only having competition for companies within the

chaos the dismantling of democracy and hungry in poland what's happening in europe today i'm speaking to political economics experts. from the european council on foreign relations the dangers is the fact that to reason masefield to get a break the deal through parliament's hold for the e.u. . via the heart of bricks and bricks it or no. and bones we can buy. it's dangerous because there's a risk of a hard one without an agreement. and this will mean a hard confrontation between britain and its a new partners. wouldn't. this will be covered by the media and media and it will lead to resentment and prejudice and nationalism so that's another and this will make the use work all the harder if we have to sift ok's don't know about the result of the over should the e.u. now make concessions to britain. in an engagement. but inside it should make concessions regarding the time frame was kind of. we have a situation in britain where there is no majority for an issue but majorities against something. if the e.u. doesn't want to force britain into a hard break said it has to give it more time

. >> you are willing to received all of eastern europe even country like poland. protect western europe? because once eastern europe goes then western europe is threatened. >> tucker: we're almost done. you think there is a plausible threat within our lifetimes of, say, the u.k., germany, belgium, litten stein, switzerland, spain, portugal being invaded by russia. >> i'm thought saying that all the other countries in yearn europe including the ones who joined nato fell of course the next frontier for russian expansionism would be western europe. that's obvious, i think. >> tucker: not obvious at all to me but keep trying. great to see you, david. >> thank you. >> tucker: christian whiton joins us tonight. when did bill kristol take over the democratic party? did you notice when that happened? >> yeah. it's amazing the turn when this group that used to be very reticent in committing the lives of americans, the blood the treasure of the united states to frankly other people's problems now seem to be more hawkish than neo cops were in the iraq war. >> tucker: do you

pull troops out of syria, they would pull out of nato because it took part of eastern europe away including polandry. they hate nato o. it sounds like he matches up with someone working for the russians. >> i mean vladimir putin and the russian government could not have asked for a friend leer american president who has done the things that you mentioned. undermined our relationship with long-standing allies, aligned himself with autocrats around the world including vladimir putin, obviously. pulled out of syria, leaving it to one of the countries there, russia, to control. and he's done things substantially departed from democratic and republican presidents and undermined our standing in the world to russia's been if the. it should also be noted that donald trump started going to russia before the break up of the soviet union. of course we're far from having a conclusion or anything definitive. but you got to admit that's exactly the kind of person they would by targeting to make an asset in the united states. so we're a long way from figuring this out i think but it speaks to the urgency of gett

europe as a whole. did you not see... we are all in the same boat — polandhe same challenges. the challenge is not to fight against poland, germany, spain or italy. the challenge is to gather our forces to invest more, to innovate more, and to be in a situation to resist the competition coming from china and coming from the us. that's the key challenge. and what i'm asking for, more integration within the eurozone, more investment in innovation, in new technologies, in artificial intelligence, is for the sake of having a sovereign europe being able facing china and the us. minister — i do not wish to be rude, minister, but the phrase in english would be, isn't it time to wake up and smell the coffee? because look at what is happening your own country. the polls suggest that the populists, whether it be from the right, with marine le pen, or for the left, with jean—luc melenchon, they are the leaders in your own country. we have one of the key leaders in the italian government, matteo salvini, saying the franco—german axis may well be replaced by a polish axi

uses a lot of survey data and the major declines in that category showed up in eastern europe countries like poland hungary, czechoslovakia, which showed declines in judicial effectiveness, and the opinion of their citizens about the judicial effectiveness in those countries. the other global indicator that declined significantly was trade freedom. i think you all have probably noticed the news about the increase protection and tendencies in the countries around the world, and even here in the united states, and we suddenly picked that up in the index of economic freedom. you can see here the importance of trade. the countries that are judged free in the index of economic freedom both depend on and benefit from trade much more highly than the countries that are unfree or regress. the results of our index have gone up online, and the entire text of the index, all of our databases are online and available at heritage.org/index . we can provide more data if you contact us directly. we are happy to have people use this data. it is freely available and there is not a gateway here or anything like that.
