this year, the united states and poland are celebrating 100 years of poland regaining its independence. and nearly 100 years of u.s. polish diplomatic ties. it's a long time. i am thrilled to say the alliance between our nation has never been stronger. with you and i at the helm. do you agree with that? thank you, mr. president. i am glad he said yes. in our discussions this afternoon, mr. duda and i agreed to enhance cooperation and military relations, missile defense, technology and training. i'm proud to report that poland has recently purchased a state of the art patriot missile system. a great system. we make the greatest military equipment by far anywhere in the world. it is made right here in the usa. i want to commend poland for meeting its nato defense spending obligations. i am glad that it plans to increase spending beyond the 2% minimum obligation. thank you very much for that. i would like to share my gratitude to the people of poland for their contributions to nato's resolute support mission in afghanistan and the coalition to defeat isis. -- weve made tremendous have mad

but poland's economy is doing pretty well right now. few countries have benefited more from membership. still the government seems to be risking an open conflict with the european union. in december the government announced a series of controversial judicial reforms in general they give politicians greater powers over the judiciary. the dismantling of the rule of law has begun. the ottomar of yes is one of more than one hundred thirty court presidents who have been demoted by the justice minister since last autumn. is a respected district court judge she has repeatedly pointed out that the government's proposed reforms are unconstitutional. and she says that's why she was fired. the government's decision caught her completely by surprise. one day an official letter arrived and that was that she was no longer head of the court is that by focusing his advice let me show you. the film of fact that here's the letter. that is documented signed by the attorney general effective immediately. would you put them as difficult but they gave no rea

armed forces in poland. first and foremost, ladies and gentlemen, we cannot see if there are permanent bases of the u.s. armed forces in poland. we will see a deterioration of security. that will lead to increased russian activity. and increased militarization of this part of europe by russia. i want to say clearly, ladies and gentlemen, very strong militarization has taken place. this has been for more than 10 years. it is the reality we live in today. as far as russian behavior is concerned, as far as increased military activities are concerned including increasing of the militarization, russia has been conducting activities and a systematic way. for a first time, we are able to see that in georgia, in 2008 when then-president of poland took european leaders and they went to stop russian tanks which were about to attack the capital of georgia. at that moment, the military extension has been developing. today, we can see and illegal allocation of crime area. -- of crimea. we are witnessing constant violatio

it says fighting for poland.e court fined alina two thousand and twenty which is about half the monthly average wage here to. tell you that's a lot of money for me i'm going to be there just trying to scare people. to keep them from organizing demonstrations should malia. and providing is often asked each when the police were questioning me they kept saying that was your first and last demonstration and you've been p.h.c. us looking at the most threats but it's never gotten to the most it's a misdemeanor when you've got a check on it there's nothing about it in the penal code. i'm pretty upset about that is you know i'm a single mother and that's a lot of money that is busted. up so you feel yes it's up to me right we appeal on german government. the appeal will be heard in three days but there will be no more demonstrations here any time soon. the fis been an increase recently in the number of criminal cases involving petty offenses by government critics. that you know. i said in public that kaczynski is a liar

i am delighted that in this year it's so important to poland, the year of poland regaining its independencebrate our 100th anniversary of it, i'm able to be hosted here, by the president of the united states at the white house at washington. and also from this perspective, from the perspective of the centennial of poland gaining its independence, this fact is importance for polls, both those living in poland and those living abroad especially the 10 million pols living in the united states. this is a huge symbolic importance. one reason for that is that the matter of polish independence was one of the important points of the policy of the u.s. president wilson. it was precisely president wilson before 1918, he was the one who put polish independence on his agenda, on the agenda of his policy that happened among others, thanks to a great polish politician, a composer and musician. but it is a fact that pols experienced back then a lot of good from the united states and from the president of the united states there are no other words to describe the fact that that great state indicated to pol

what is going on in poland right now. i'm returning to a country that i thought i knew well but now it seems that i no longer do i worked as a reporter in warsaw for four years when i left in two thousand and four poland was celebrating its accession to the e.u. the popular vote in favor was overwhelming. russia to help to organize polish support for the e.u. . at that time there was a real sense of optimism throughout the country. last winter i returned to poland for the first time since then and found that things have changed i've received death threats i was called a traitor a for a brussels and a nazi i was accused of making anti polish propaganda films i was even compared to lenny riefenstahl. and all because i did a report on a woman who had fought passionately for poland to join the e.u. the two today to me is a member of the european parliament. she's one of the few polish politicians who openly criticize their government. we fought for decades to establish democracy in poland and now they want to destroy it if th

we don't have enough armored brigade to move them forward in poland and if they're forward in poland on a permanent basis there just isn't enough flexibility to move them to other places where they might need to go. you know we have to pull a brigade either out of the united states or we have to move brigade from germany and both of those moves are self defeating so even if you can pay for all the infrastructure that poland wants and two billion dollars will not come close to covering it the united states government won't find the budget to make make up for that and just in terms of the armored units that would have to move the army units that would have to move we just don't have those and it's not a good use of the forces that we have so really this is this is more about as your previous guest said. about appealing to trump's vanity and it is about a longstanding polish desire you know poland looks at the european members of nato and sees the european union which they think takes polish considerations in an off handed and cavalier manner that's really what's at the basis of this po

over now to my colleague in poland. break the impasse between the eu uk over brexit negotiations. that is partly because poland is a big friend of the uk. they have similar views about free trade and taking a strong stance against russia. but it's mainly about polish interests. what poland wants is to avoid at all costs in no deal scenario. that's because there are deal scenario. that's because there a re two deal scenario. that's because there are two major issues the poland. what the polish government wants more than anything is to be seen to be securing the rights of the 1 million polish citizens living in the uk and it's also about money. poland is the biggest recipient of eu funds and the uk is a significant contributor to that budget. it does not want to know deal scenario jeopardising the amount of cash gets from that budget. then there is the issue of trade. the uk is the third—largest market the polish goods so the government does not wa nt goods so the government does not want any sort of uncertainty to affect

when i compare poland and hungary i always say that poland is really following the same path but only because poland governing party the law and justice party isn't part of the let's say governing party of the e.u. even be that's why they could initiate article seven procedures much much earlier than hungary on the other looking at the fact that it was the european parliament that article seven this time i think this sends a much stronger message because european parliament that's the people it's not some institution. you're going to parliament has is a democratic representation of the citizen so i think it's actually much stronger and then of course very late so late and they were ok but he says he want to say something but i want to bring peace or first into the conversation and i'm trying to to broaden it out to the rest of europe i mean to orban did run his election campaign on a very strong anti migration platform that's happened in other countries in italy and in other countries around europe so is it the case that the continent is going through a transformation a society transf

president trump is saying america first and i'm saying poland first. and we understand each other very well. it's hard for me to be surprised for the fact that mr. president being very experienced man, a man of success as far as business is concerned knows thousand calculate. nobody puts that in question either in the u.s. or other place. he takes care of the united states. it lies in the interest of the country to have a balanced trade exchange and this is something that you have to take care of. and, of course, there is clash of interest. however, objectively looking, it is hard not to understand it. so there is always competition of interest. there is competition interest. i represent polish interest whereas president trump represent america's interest. the whole thing as follows on important matters you have to strike an agreement to make sure that both countries win and lose as little as possible. and then we have an understanding and agreement. and then we can say that we are cooperating with each other on equal level. and i believe this is the k

and therefore why doesn't our striata and defra actually does but why doesn't hungary slovakia or poland apply the basic rules and that is why you can parliament last wednesday has as you as you said started the mechanism should actually freeze the voting rights of hungary as long as it does not respect basic e.u. law ok i'm glad we've kind of come back in full circle to a point i wanted to raise with thorsten a point you raised thorsten a member go the divisions we've seen this sort of e.u. action. parliamentary action against hungry which poland is vowing to disrupt any sort of sanctions against hungry we've seen hungry make similar pledges to protect poland we've seen italy's interior minister say sanctions against hungry would be crazy so there's kind of like the a stream of countries lining up on one side and then you have on the other baps luxembourg and france are these disagreements over immigration forging new alliances and creating new divisions within the e.u. . in you have a division between centrist forces that includes the european people's party that voted against mr orbán
