facet also opened up, i am very grateful to both god and my confessor, father andrey, when i went to vlaamke buddhism, an abstraction, some kind of eternal... and i found this reflection, this living thing, not a letter, but a spirit, i found in our monastery just like this, this is close. you can be wrong, you can, i had years, i’ve been in the monastery for 15 years, i had very difficult years, when i didn’t regret that i came to the monastery, but it was just hard, yeah, something like that, because a lot had to be changed, as i said, i was not a churched person, all this was necessary, but how long did this period of purification last, well , how can i say, it was not like that at one point, let’s say, here’s the first thing, when you come to the monastery, everything is on fire, everything... is there, but somehow, well, it’s necessary, that means it’s necessary, it’s necessary, that means it’s necessary, well, look, and besides everything else , absolutely calmly, then filling the site and interviewing sisters, do you use new media to communicate with believing parishioners, there is

charlie peters, gb news brussels and charlie does raise a very important point there, which is the vlaamsties, which are flemish nationalist parties, separatist parties that want to leave belgium. >> the cordon sanitaire means basically they get no press coverage whatsoever in belgium , coverage whatsoever in belgium, and they often struggle to hold events. what was really interesting this morning was viktor orban said at the start, i grew up in the soviet union. in 1988, we founded fidesz in hungary, still part of a soviet empire. and time and again he said, we would book meeting rooms to have events, only to have them cancelled . and he have them cancelled. and he reminded us that modern day brussels now genuinely has shades of that old soviet union. and that's a very serious point. are you listening in frontbench of the labour party? because you seem to approve of us being cancelled yesterday. now, overnight, the legal eagles were very, very busy and i'm pleased to say that i'm joined by lorcan price, irish barrister and legal for counsel the alliance defending freedom international, w

according to the expert , it's according to the expert, it's the right wing party vlaams belang, which cool name. sounds like an 80s pop star. scored better in areas where more people without university degrees live, while environmentalist left wing party gruen did better in places with more highly educated people. but that doesn't show that smarter people vote left wing. it shows that universities are now communist indoctrination camps, and they're very successful at it. although phil marks to that paper for actually somehow saying stupid flanders. now, but see this is the argument, isn't it? >> if you don't agree with someone immediately , you're someone immediately, you're stupid. yeah. >> smilk smear tactics. >> smilk smear tactics. >> we saw this after brexit as well. >> oh, yeah? >> oh, yeah? >> yeah, exactly, exactly. you're racist. and remember everyone was saying, oh, not everyone was saying, oh, not everyone that votes brexit is racist, but all racists vote brexit. it's like, well, all smug people vote remain. i said that yeah that's right. >> you know those people who voted

vlaams belang in belgium and all of these, and austria, where they came first, second in holland, huget, then one key factor is that the conservative gives plus those who were regarded as far right. i would, rather than those people backing parties , those people backing parties, actually now control 470 of the votes that that is the majority . votes that that is the majority. if they all stuck together, are they far right , these parties? they far right, these parties? >> no. >> no. >> look, this definition of far right is, i've often argued, is ridiculous . right is, i've often argued, is ridiculous. i mean, the idea is that just because you oppose open door immigration makes you far right? because you oppose the green energy makes you far right just because you don't support the socialists or epp or the sanitaire cordiale, which the sanitaire cordiale, which the europeans like to have, you're far right. there's nothing far right about these views at all. you're not seeing all these people across europe as you saw in this, the videos that you're going to talk about putting their fing

my party, for example, which is the vlaams belang party, the conservative and patriotic party here inast year we did a meeting here in brussels and exactly the same happened. you have a left wing antifa, anti—fascist mobs threatening, with violence. then you have the socialist mayors, which are then declared as an emergency and they need to safeguard the public order and then they cancel your meeting. you need to go to the highest administrative court here in belgium to, to get a permit to do anything don't like . do anything they don't like. >> interesting. tom, the dispersal notice served by the mayor is extraordinary . it says mayor is extraordinary. it says today they would undeniably have been the risk of disruption and violence. but outside on the streets, it paints a very different picture. one of calmness. but tom in particular, there were special words reserved for attendees, and that obviously includes yourself, people inside reputed to be traditionally . it's as if that's traditionally. it's as if that's an insult. homophobes disrespectful of human rights and minorities. di
