but these protests against is, um, is, may be managed by the government. and another thing is very important. we have still these protests from the commerce, the huge brokers everywhere. yeah. 100 thousands of farmers on the street now for, for weeks already. and uh, the media managed with this help of this propaganda cool from the government to re silence these farmers because it was overlay by these protests organized and paid by the government on tx past the house. and this is really scary. what's going on here. now hold on to that thought we will absolutely address these farmers complaints as well. i mean, we'll discuss that in just a moment. but 1st i want to hit on the chancellor's recent remarks. chancellor, all off schultz and foreign minister, angelina bare bach, other senior mainstream political figures have attended these protests. the chancellor in his weekly video broadcast, he said this quote, the nazi race ideology could never again have space in germany. that's alluding to a f d being a 10 to the nazi party and have labeled, labeled them fa

talk us through those protests.— embassy in the city. hello. talk us through those protests.hose protests. there was an enormous queue outside _ through those protests. there was an enormous queue outside the - through those protests. there was an enormous queue outside the russian| enormous queue outside the russian embassy in washington, dc. several hundred people have turned up to vote. that's a large numberfor somewhere like washington. this part of the us is not somewhere that has a particularly substantial number of russians living here. and several of the people in that queue, lots of them actually left russia after the war in ukraine broke outjust over two years ago. many of them leaving russia either to escape repression or mobilisation, orjust because they didn't feel comfortable staying in a country that unleashed this war on its neighbour. but outside the embassy it was certainly a very colourful spectacle. there were banners and flags and placards. they had assembled a stage where people were giving speeches. and i got chatting to one of alexei navalny�*s closest

natalya, but we understand that the situation with the protests in poland is very ... so accumulated, are many problems, and agricultural products from ukraine, and from russia and belarus, this is not the root cause of these protests, there are many factors that it affects, and another question is how certain groups of people try to manipulate this and take advantage of this situation for their own selfish purposes, and if we are talking about the role of the european commission, which could, in my opinion , be the one who can solve this issue, actually with some of their own subsidies... precisely those or other categories of polish and other european farmers who, even if possible, would already be in such and such a situation that they would need to go to the streets and seek one or another policy change. how are you you think, for example, today it became known that the european commission wants to strengthen the requirements for ukraine within the framework of transport visa-free, well , on the one hand, we understand that this issue seems to be on the surface, so we understand,

these protests weekly. what can you tell us about the ones from tonight like dsl weeks and there were 2 major protests at night. there's a one taking place behind me at the moment. it's much more muted. it's much quieter at this place and it's the place that it's become known as hostage square because family members of the captive came here and still wanted protesting 22 weeks ago, calling for nothing yahoo to take them seriously saying they have one go up to release the captives from gone so being held by various groups. there was another much bigger protest in a place called caplin square. this is a sense it and tell a piece of intelligence ministries and the minister of the ministry of defense, which is an absolute huge building. very loud protests getting quite provocative for that purpose as were blocking highways or preventing traffic from coming through. there were few scuffles that was in the rest, so we so old that but they were really courting for out much stronger things. the restaurant where the
