earlier this month doctors demonstrated outside government buildings in warsaw they believe the government's plan to raise health care spending to six percent of g.d.p. by twenty twenty five isn't enough but a calling for an increase to almost seven percent if we only wanted to fight for our wages we wouldn't be here but many polish doctors have left the country for better wages and working conditions more than two thousand now work in germany so the polish government's response could have a major effect on the future of medical care in poland. well the season has started on wall street and the solid numbers have pushed the dow to a new record high among the witness general motors shares of the comic or so to another record high after it posted two and a half billion dollars pretax profit and reaffirmed an upbeat full year earnings forecast for g.m. of course the next accounting loss to two charges related to the sale of its european operations cost cutting efforts in the shift to high margin trucks and s.u.v.s have boosted the company's performance. and we can check in with what else is mov

the european union being sent from one country to another for example if a construction worker from warsaw is sent by his polish company to germany he has the right to earn at least german minimum wage in the future he'll receive the same money as his german colleagues including the usual benefits that's according to a european commission legal initiative the previous so-called postered workers act was from the year nine hundred ninety six when the e.u. only had fifteen member states there was a pay gap of one to three the law was meant to bring payment parity then eastern european countries became member states know the e.u. is much larger the pay gap to its now at one to ten that means workers in luxemburg earn ten times more than those in bulgaria no wonder the posting of workers is increasing in twenty ten it was already one point three million people twenty fourteen already one point nine million an increase of almost forty five percent germany france and belgium other countries which have the most foreign workers from other e.u. countries most of them come from eastern europe most wo

hers and cases like it have prompted doctors and warsaw to stage a hunger strike. resident match a novak says he cannot live on his monthly paycheck of around five hundred thirty euros so the young surgeon has been working overtime up to eighty extra hours a week. because i'm so overworked i'm afraid i'll make a big mistake because i've heard of patient zero take their life. for the hunger strikers it's a wake up call for poland's health care system which they say is chronically underfunded and understaffed it's also suffering a major brain drain the country's medical association estimates that more than ten thousand doctors and seventeen thousand nurses have already left poland to seek work elsewhere. the shortage of doctors has created months long waiting lists for treatment the government has responded with more pay for medical staff and more spending on health care but it falls well short of the striker's demands. what are the holes expect a good education good roads and security that will cost money so we have to be responsible with how we spend it. medical pr

and if they are in warsaw. and therein warsaw. and a few years later we go back to a free poland and meet with the president there and president bush. and i was there again to and to see that transition in history and then , be there when the military aid comes up to the president and says, mr. president, the soviet union has fallen. and there is that moment of, what? and, you know, it was the end of the soviet union, the cold war was over. the berlin wall came down. thingat was a whole other where president bush was criticized for not going to berlin and kind of standing on the wall and waving the flag and saying, you know, we won the cold war. and he refused to do that. his reasoning was that it is not about our victory or anything that we've done, it's time for -- it's time for the german people, the people who are experiencing freedom for the first time in 70 plus years, it's time for them to celebrate and have their own victory. if he had gone, it was so soon after word that there were potentially rogue russian generals who h

the muslim as portrayed by the governments in they havend warsaw, been demonized, their terrorists. and that becomes the daily discourse. so this is interesting. secondly, i think it's very question ofhe identity, because it feeds into the question of sovereignty. happening inseen hungary and poland and in other countries in the e.u., not even and central european bentries, is the need to sovereign, even though, members of the e.u., we had to creed some of our -- cede some of our sovereignty. of identity politics, ethnic politics, values, it's all -- this is our country, and the e.u. -- all these things are coming together. >> what would the german man have to say about all these things, anja? >> i think he didn't vote for the afd. sometimes i think, hamilah is the real coming back, talking to him. and he's just -- i don't know. he was -- he is like -- he has a education. he went to different colleges in east germany. wall camehen the down, there was this highlight in his life. a woman whoed to owned an apartment building in east berlin. and so -- and he was, you know, the head of t

a small group of protestors are holding vigils in a camper van, right in the middle of warsaw.ter: ujazdow avenue, early in the morning. on the right is the chancellery, seat of prime minister beata szydlo. on the left is a caravan. its occupant, marta michalska, is just getting up. as usual, she starts the day feeding the birds. marta michalska lives in this small caravan as a form of protest. she's here to keep watch over democracy. marta: it's physically demanding. but someone has to do it. it's my duty, i have to do it. if i don't, who will? i also expect others to take action, others with a political conscience. reporter: it's stefan sterzycki's turn to take over. the caravan is always occupied. the campaigners are protesting the rightwing government's refusal to recognize the legitimacy of constitutional court rulings. when the court rejected a judicial reform pushed through by the ruling law and justice party, for example, prime minister szydlo simply failed to publish the ruling. stefan: i'm not going to accept the destruction of democracy in this country. what's going

shows we have negotiated with brutal, terrible dictators, we treaties with l the soviet union and the warsaw one of was a member of the negotiating delegations. we union, trust the soviet but saw it in national interest treaty. arms control an agreement with soviet union during world war ii and common enemy against adolf hitler. i disagree kim jong-un is crazy, that is something we have heard and heard it applied to his studies in ve done government and out of government, so he's both the and son and indeed the grandfather. we're all brutal, terrible dictators, but they weren't crazy. many are advocating preventative saying even though we can live with nuclear russia and hina, we can't live with nuclear north korea, he is crazy, he may wake up and push the button. not crazy, therefore, you oac -- attack him, he wouldn't respond because he knows the u.s., a logical response, a logical disconnect, attack because he is crazy, but wouldn't suffer sane, uences, he'd have a rationale response. on the military option, it may come to that. particularly if north korea attacks us or our allies fwe int

is the first point and so the image of the muslim as portrayed by the governments in budapest in warsaw they have been demonized they're terrorists and that's that that becomes the daily discourse. so this is the first thing and i said secondly i think it's very important the question of identity because it feeds into the question of sovereignty what we have seen happening in hungary in poland and the some other countries in the e.u. not even east and central european countries is that cloying is the to be sovereign even though remember remembers of the e.u. we had to cede some of our sovereignty and there is this push back against the european union so the idea of identity politics ethnic politics and values it's all this is this is our country and the e.u. don't dictate so all these things are coming together would have to say about all of these things are new. i think you didn't vote for the f.t. . and now sometimes i think like you've the real homeless coming back talking to him and he's just. i don't know he he he was years like. he has a really good education he went to two differ

warsaw is in comparable to reagan. i say that with some knowledge, because reagan speechwriter helped write it. if you are on the left, the very idea that you would defend western civilization is probably prove there is something wrong. speech, whichions has a core argument, you may disagree with the argument, but it is not trivial. the base of freedom starts with sovereignty. if the united nations was a collection of sovereign countries who reach agreements, it is useful. if, however, we are moving towards the globalization with a bureaucratic legalistic system in which our nations are subordinate to parts of this larger thing, then it is dangerous. you, but iw about had it, along with george mitchell. the idea that the general assembly should replace the canadian parliament or the american congress as a source of ultimate authority is insane. look at who belongs to it. look at who is on the human rights commission. if you're not a tyrant or dictator, you are not allowed on. the all get together and say, hey, we're go
