has vowed to punish warsaw for judicial reforms and calls undemocratic brussels is threatening the nuclear option to invoke article seven and strip poland of its e.u. voting rights but could that backfire also coming out. yemen's who's the rebels take aim at the saudi royal palace with rocket fire saudi forces say they've intercepted that is the yemen conflict now spilling across the border. and a big boost for u.s. president trump as the u.s. senate backs his tax reform but a procedural error means the house of representatives has to vote on it one more talk. also coming up berlin marks a tragic anniversary when terrorists struck in the very heart of the couch. church bells ringing out at the exact moment an islamist attacker rammed his truck into a crowded christmas market last year killing twelve people as germany gone off to help in the aftermath of that attack. and life in the shadows of the front line we have. reports from a village in eastern ukraine that's been cut off leaving residents with no way out . are brian thomas great to have you with us will the european commission today

two things if you want to understand where we counterterrorism, go back and read the president's warsaw speech and the president riyadh speech. , i knowly essential about the speeches, great members of the white house team, that have filled the first law of war. it was a bit obligated but it everybody, when you got infected cocktail parties can quote this to you. every time they get it wrong. they said know your enemy, read the book and get for free online, it takes 90 minutes to read. , what he said was if you know your enemy, you will when half of your battle. if you know yourself and why you are fighting. are, youow who you will win every battle as a war. he is absolutely right, whether you are fighting the nazis, whether you are fighting al qaeda, whether you are fighting allowed to know the enemy for the last eight years. don't take my word for it, google it, in 2011, the white house instructed in an unclassified memo to the chairman and joint chiefs that in all counterterrorism training and federal prosecutions of law enforcement, there should not be mention of islam and the were

honest. >> you mentioned in your remarks the president's powerful a dress in warsaw. and he also spoke to the islam islamist threat and this is a huge issue across the atlantic. at a time when there's intense debate in europe over how to deal with that islamist issue in light of angela merkel's decision to allow in about two million migrants and refugees into germany for the middle east and north africa and whole range of countries and what do you see actually as the long-term impact of miracle's open door decision. we've seen fundamental rejection of that's an in countries such as poland for example and do you think the refugee crisis in europe is going to have a major impact on the united states as well as national security? >> i think it already has because the president wants to make sure we don't see here what happened europe. we're not waffling after the attacks in new york. what's the president said? there will be no more diversity lottery or chain migration. this is a danger to us and we will not fall victim to what we're seeing in europe. compare this to chan

this week conflict zone is in warsaw where the polish government is facing mounting criticism from the e.u. over its record on democracy and human rights my guest is the deputy prime minister matteo. this is government ready to accept the concerns voiced by brussels or continue to reject them out of hand. is. what is more obvious welcome to conflicts on hello nice to be here with you we've seen some pretty harsh language between your government and the over your record on democracy and human rights last month your foreign minister actually referred to donald tusk president of the european council as an icon of evil and stupidity now that he's slanging matches help your relations with. i think that on both sides the language is sometimes too. strong here and and sometimes. it does not have in our relationships but also the symmetry of perception is a very important think we have to. do some changes which are in the in germany was done twenty five years ago like for instance the commune is a sion of the former church where democrats are public was it was done in one thousand nine hundred

the law was triggered over warsaw's refusal to scrap authoritarian to dish will reforms giving really conservatives more control over its courts poland's president just insisted they won't abandon those plans but the reforms are also under fire at home with thousands of people flooding the streets of the capital in protest last week it. was. learned of them both but then president. on us. but e.u. experts have told us brussels pressure on warsaw will only make an already tense situation worse for the entire union. eales goal is to impose its power and to show who is the boss in the room the political climate has significantly changed and it is very different comparing to the moment when these states were accepted so this whole situation will only deepen the political crisis it's clearly a political maneuver against directed against governments on the right in the group of fisa grab it's a threat to paul want to the czech republic to slovakia to hungary to austria which has elected the prime minister on the right. that's made the alliance with the right so clearly the european commissi

come he joins me on the line good evening like i mean that's the accusation isn't it coming from warsaw they say the that the e.u. triggered a magickal seven as punishment because poland wouldn't take more migrants is that just an excuse or do think the something in it. there are several things of course the immigration issue is sort of real one misses shit was that form a promise to us that we don't have out of terrorism in poland full stop. to the european will to dispatch more migrants to every country in europe after the the acceptance of these markers by mrs merkel and the european commission so that's one of the points but there are all this of course that is the independence of the churches. which should be before us the president of the european commission threatened by the foremost the judiciary by the polish government while this is not true they changed the time and they changed somehow nomination of the supreme court and all the courts but it's just like in mr trump's medico is this the trumpets elected he designates to the supreme court a judge which is on the right and if

eleanor garnier in warsaw, theresa may is there today, at a summit about strengthening the ties witholand ahead of brexit. that is likely to overshadow what has happened here? theresa may came here wanting to talk about the uk's deepening relationship with poland, how she wants the countries to grow closer, not further apart with brexit. this trip's been overshadowed by the sacking of her close confidante and colleague damian green. there's a press conference in little under an hour with theresa may and her polish counterpart, but everyone will of course be asking about damian green. it will be the first time we have heard from theresa may since she asked him to resign last night. while she might have lost her deputy prime minister, brexit of course continues and so too the need to win over allies as talks with brussels go into their next phase with trade and a transition period. britain wa nts and a transition period. britain wants the support of poland, as it tries to get that free trade deal, with the european union. but poland also wants the support of britain. it's currently fac
