from the polish perspective, the government in poland and warsaw is determined that it believes that it has the rights to assert the value of its own constitution. it believes that that being the case, then it's law, the law that is passed by polish parliament that's enacted by the polish government should be supreme. and the problem with that of course, is that that goes against the european law, which previous polish governments adhered to. so clearly the european union perspective is simple, that by joining the e u when it did in 2004 the polish then government, the parliament accepted the clear suggestion from you law that from the you rather than joining the you meant accepting the supremacy of you law, so that's what we were hearing from the use perspective. they believe that poland, rather the polish government that is, is acting against the, the assertion of you law. so he has a collision course because it's clear. the polish government has selected judges to sit in the constitutional tribunal who have come to a routing. the funny thing about this is that this is one constitu

the polish prime minister accusing europe of blackmailing warsaw, but the european union is insisting it will not let polish courts undermine the european union. >> questions remain about this man's role in the country after the taliban regained control. plus, an investigation by the new york times brings down the head of germany's most popular newspaper in a metoo moment that was almost buried by the bosses. and the world's largest trade fair for publishers has returned to frankfurt, germany, bringing bookworms from all over the world back on the same page. ♪ brent: i'm brent goff. to our viewers on pbs in the united states and to all of you around the world, welcome. we begin tonight with a dispute that strikes at the heart of the european union. today the polish prime minister accused the e.u. of bullying by threatening legal and financial action against his country. a recent polish court decisions undermined the rule of law across the entire 27-member european union. >> looking friendly for the cameras, but the e.u. commission president and poland's prime minister soon took aim at

the government in warsaw has welcomed the decision, but e. u leaders are threatening to retaliate on sunday. hundreds of thousands of polish protest has urged their government to commit to keeping poland in the block will bring in our guests in just a moment. but 1st a report from others. here as warri challenz in morsel i, it's large crowds and e. u flags are plenty, and central war. so and real fears for the countries future we would like to stay in the european union and we are very afraid that, that we are going to, to the pull exit together with the government of mister kaczynski and the others here. it's like, you know, a magician who's playing a young magician who's playing, who is fire and he doesn't know how to her, how to stop so it can explode. so i think is the same here for they don't really know what they did since the constitutional tribunal ruled on thursday. that foundational parts of you law don't apply in poland, starting opposition, politicians and e. you supporters of been mobilizing the turn out here, reinforces a centra

the west state department told us that they see warsaw as the most convenient option. however, they are saying that they do understand that this is quote on quote, a very significant change for the applicants. and also they are putting the blame for this entire situation. on the russian side, the russian government's decision to prohibit the united states from retaining hiring or contracting russian or 3rd country stuff severely impacts our ability to provide counselor services. the extremely limited number of counselor staff in russia. this time does not allow us to provide routine visa or us citizen services . so from listening to that, it sounds like rushes made of the lives of us diplomats far more complicated as well. so what's the wider context here? well, it's really important to look at what happened earlier about 6 months ago. washington expanded its anti russian sanctions and kicked 10 russian diplomats out of the country, which is on top of many more diplomat expulsions. and moscow kept warning all along, but it will be responding now apart from expulsion is

and warsaw took a lot of a flat from e u. leaders for challenging the blocks core value or the rule of law. now in the, if the riff that is, goes further, the e, you may punish warsaw by pulling billions of euros in so called covert recovery funds. while the reason tensions have added more fuel to the idea of poland, maybe even leaving the european union. although as we heard, there are a strong support to stay in the u. of the government are very simply chosen and other way away of confrontation with you. and now it looks like it's a very strong recording, very strong foot. no, very strong. swa goes for the struggle between the commission on the les and, and the polish government is very busy, but the struggle is growing. on the other hand, government knows that they need money from that you've florida, even on the recovery. i think the people in poland, in majority support being in the use of the younger generation is very skeptical about living. i think that young people are not, as we imagine living in and other words without you, without those possibilities, like working abroad st

that as the polish foreign ministry, some of the belgian ambassador over the countries criticism of warsaw approached to its legal dispute with brussels. ah! lives from oscar, thanks for joining us tonight on our teams national. i'm daniel hawkins. welcome to this. i was wonder. now there's just hours ago before new york's unvaccinated essential workers will be forced to take unpaid leaf, the man's job deadline is 5 pm, monday. it's feared, thousands will miss it. creating serious, shorter years in the sector, kayla molten has the story. 5 pm eastern standard time is the deadline for which city workers in new york city will be required to be vaccinated in order to keep their jobs. they'll be going on unpaid leave. if they are not vaccinated by that time, needless to say, many of them are not happy about this mandate. ah . during some of the rowdy protests that we've seen, garbage was even thrown on to the lawn of the mayor's residence. and it appears that as a result of this mandate, new york city could soon be losing one in 5 that's 20 percent of its fire departments due to firefighters.
