in poland. but before long. that death struggle with the taliban aryanism involved the fates and compelled the extraordinary sacrifice of freedom loving nations across the world. so today. we also remember. the 16000000 americans who left the peace and comfort of their home to fight to liberate europe. they stood against evil. and over $400000.00 young american men including thousands of polish americans gave their last full measure of devotion for their country. and the peoples of nations they did not know. today i remember my countrymen and their sacrifices. with honor and gratitude. today we remember the millions of brave and sturdy british citizens who served and sacrificed to save europe. defend their sovereignty their liberty and their beloved kingdom. so to recall the incredible patriots of the french resistance the dutch the danish the belgians the czechs. the greeks the romanians and so many other underground movements and freedom fighters who entered history as legends of courage. they demonstrated a s

, wanted to grab poland ' poland ' pola poland's territory. we defeated them during a great battle and then we chased them back to the east and they took their revenge on us in 1939 by attacking us together with nazi germany and murdering our officers and captain. so madam, as you can see, this friendship is a very difficult one. today we are in the following situation. russia attacked georgia, then in 2014, it attacked ukraine and these are facts. these are facts which are belong to the recent history. we would like russia to be our friend but unfortunately, russia, again, is showing it's very unkind, unpleasant imperial face and we do not want to be part of russia's zpesphere of influence and i'm happy that we can speak in connection with the military presence of the u.s. in nato and poland that we are first and foremost part of the west because we have always been part of the west in terms of culture. we have always been part of the west because it is from the west from which we adopted christianity in 966, more than 1,000 years ago and sin

tried to break you, but poland could not be broken. in june 1979, one of poland's greatest sons returned home. history records that in this very square, he preached that the polish people could not understand their history or their future, apart from the greatest source of their strength. visit cause ar's avolution -- caused revolution of conscience. the momentum of those nine days would eventually lead to the fall of the berlin wall in 1989 in the end of the soviet union in 1991. ,on that day in this place that man paul ii dead cannot understand who he is or what his true dignity is for what his vocation is, nor what his final end is. without christ. when the holy father spoke those words, the millions of poles gathered here spoke for their ,ation and their history lifting their voices, they sang we- they want god and their horses echoed around the nation and the world. a memorial to honor that historic moment stands before us , just opposite the tomb of the unknown soldier. spacea symbol of polish -polish faith. the trueestimony to s

military in the skies and on the ground in poland today u.s. president trump announced more salt will purchase at least 30 f. $35.00 fighter jets and $1000.00 more u.s. troops will be stationed in poland moved out of germany listening to trump describe it you'd think the decision is being made to reward the poles and to punish the germans is it. this is the day. what they're talking about 2000 troops but would be taking them out of germany or would be moving them from another location it would be no additional troops to europe and germany is not living up to what they're supposed to be doing with respect to nato and poland is apt to congratulate you thank you very much we haven't we haven't finalized anything but the facility itself will be a world class well that's up to them i have nothing to do with naming it for the job that's all i need what dropped. also coming up tonight and frank would have been 90 years old today before she became one of the world's best known victims of the holocaust she was this man's babysitter. after school when i

in 1919, russia attacked poland. wanted to bring communism to poland. it was stopped by the bravery of polish soldier. we chased them back to the east. i think they got revenge in 1939 by attacking us. so, madam, as you can see, their friendship is a very difficult one. today we are in a similar situation. russia tacted georgia and attacked ukraine. these are facts. these are facts of our history. we would like russia to be our friend, but unfortunately, russia is showing its unkind, unpleasant face. we don't want to be part of that. i'm happy that we can speak boldly, all in connection of nato in poland, that we truly are parted of the west because we have always been part of the west. we've always been part of the west. since that time, 1,000 years ago, we have been part of the west. we have to fix this west also in terms of politics. this is theed biggest desire of polish people, to be part of the west, also in terms of politics. thank you that the united states is supporting us in that respect. >> just to finish, i hope that poland is going to have

please, come to poland and see poland with your own eyes. please do not repeat certain things that are repeated in the west. poland has a conservative government. that is true. this government has standards of action not everybody subscribes to those standards, especially people of more leftist views. but this is the nation -- the nature of democracy. then people make a different choice. another side of the political stage comes to power. there is nothing extraordinary about that. this is happening in poland. when someone wins elections, they have the right to implement programs. however, -- >> the question for both presidents. you said a moment ago that poland will join the visa waiver program soon. how soon? pres. trump: we think fairly soon. it is a complex situation. we are getting very close. we allow very few countries to join. poland is one we are thinking about allowing in. we will be making that decision over the next probably 90 days. thinkl you -- do you maybe when you are in poland in september, you will make the announcement? pr

in germany after the 2nd world war they say how much should poland has lost how many people poland had lost warsaw has been almost completely destroyed during the war polish culture has been destroyed polish has been somehow destroyed so those are billions maybe of euros there are some accounts saying 800 maybe 850 billions euro but this topic hasn't been really spoken loudly today it's somewhere in the air between poland and germany but it hasn't been there today for the with the polish service thanks very much thank you . our let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world voting is underway in the eastern german states of saxony and brandenburg surveys have predicted big gains for the far right a.f.d. party the results could put pressure on germany's governing coalition of the christian democrats and social democrats hurricane dorian a powerful storm threatening the bahamas and the southeastern coast of the u.s. has now strengthened its a category 5 that is the highest level forecasters warn dorian could be the region's worst storm since hurricane and

military presence in poland? last year he promised you would enhance a military cooperation, training, intelligence, missile-defense and it's happening right now. people of poland still remember your incredible speech in wars warsaw. why poland is such an important ally for you? president trump: i just have a warm feeling for poland. always have. it is now even beyond that because of the relationship which we have developed with your president and first lady. it is just a very - they are incredible people. hard-working, smart, very industrious people and what they've done for the country over the last five years has been something that the world has watched in the world has marveled at. i'd like poland so when the president came and asked me whether or not we could consider this i said we will consider it and now because of his leadership were able to do that. that is fine with me. great people. they hello. >> so we will see you in september in warsaw? b6. president trump: we are looking mercilessly and going bac

troops could be sent to poland that is smaller than one poland had been hoping for but do you think this is the beginning of something that will be bigger well i wouldn't go so far as saying that this is a beginning of something bigger military experts here say that it might be too much from russia perspective or too many troops from russia spokesperson perspectives but to be a real difference it's still not enough to just send $1000.00 additional troops to poland's to strengthen mage's the eastern flank there all right our washington bureau chief alexander phenomenon on the story for us tonight the white house in washington alexandra thank you. hong kong has been rocked by the most serious political violence since control of the territory was handed back to china more than 20 years ago police today used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse tens of thousands of protesters they had walked heroes and stormed parliament the demonstrators oppose a government plan to allow extraditions to china legislators have now pours full and a debate on that extradition wall. i from peaceful protest t

and i don't want to discuss munich when poland was part of the end. of 34 non-aggression pact with germany and i want to discuss the polish collaboration with in the 19th that i want to discuss the obstruction of poland to the last negotiations between the soviet union brit come from britain and from here they want to present poland as a victim pure and simple and everyone else has been guilty and particularly of course the soviet union be being guilty ok as a historian i'm committed to telling the whole story all aspects of the truth even some aspects see. no i mean you know i've spent my whole life studying things from the soviet and russian you so obviously i have a certain identification with that point but i want to discuss even things that you know russians russian federation putin or whoever i'm comfortable with that includes discussing. and the collaboration between stalin hitler after the pact i mean that there's a very good case to be made for in terms of real politic for the pact itself the 23rd of august that's my perception is that there'

poland yes. it was no way to get right it was is just cherry picking here so alex i want to change gears a little bit here i mean we still have in 2019 paul's arguing about the past and pointing fingers at russia but unfortunately they have passed up or or avoided or ignored historical precedent of reconciliation i mean a lot of people that are watching this program that are keenly interested in history know the history the acrimonious relationship that france and germany had prior to the 2nd world war that reconciliation is a model for the poles and the russians to emulate but there is but for it to be emulated you have to have both parties only one party doesn't want to do it the other one does go ahead alex we're all this is exactly the point you understand about this is that poland actually is a country that is no longer threatened by russia i mean those quarrels over territory over borders the email was talking about how they got poland voted the way it was called up and it very substantiall

on poland, poland was pivotal. i think people will remember when i say this. when ronald reagan saw that you had the soviet troops at the border which they were at the , border in poland in 1981 when reagan came in. and martial law had been imposed. remember, charles wick was the head of the usia. charles wick was also a cabinet member as a member of the usia. why that matters, public diplomacy was integrated as policy was being developed, not after the fact. do you remember the simple phrase, let poland be poland. light a candle in every window. i remember this. the simple excerpts from reagan's speech. light a candle, everyone, like a candle in the window, let poland be poland. a simple phrase but it motivated people and brought them together in poland. it was a force, a movement, and they felt connected. the church was absolutely in this context connected. everything from the conscience and spirit and words of pope john paul ii, but also the dissemination of aid that was smuggled into poland. the father, who is well remembered, of the catholic church, died.

in occupied d poland. and this is one of the most interesting pictures i found of trawniki men standing over the bodies of the dead in the warsaw ghetto . here they are as one of the extermination centers in occupied poland. you can see one of the guys is playing a mandolin. so one of the most trusted trawniki commanders living in the united states is jacob reimer's citizen 865, subject of the book. jacob reimer, every trawniki man was given a dog tag number that followed him through the war, his ss identification number was 86 five and this is what is s&l record look like, this is his ss personnel record acquired by the department of justice in its investigation. and there john, perhaps a familiar some of you. this is also is trawniki personnel file was uncovered by us investigators. he worked for the ford motor company. i started a wise potato chip franchise in new york city. one man found in chicago years earlier works for the crackerjack company. these men were living every ordinary lives. they looked

already has around 4500 troops in poland why does warsaw need even more. now this is owing russia has sort of poland to exercise its historical animus towards russia and unfortunately the polish government is confusing their revolution that is russia in 1900 with the russian federation of 20 and i think it needs to wind its understanding of russia forward a century because this is redolent of early changes century norms when it comes to poland and being very provocative and trying to engage the u.s. in these provocative actions against russia today and this is symbolic through more than anything that to really threatened russia at this stage but the symbolism is important and of itself it is it is further proof that in washington the neo cons are teachin over the ascendant john bolton and make pompeo nose in complete control of the us foreign policy as richard did issue a press of and in just for that or provide evidence to most of it does not have in the us a 1st ability for diplomacy or for international cohesion so very rich or gates stacked a very sad

poland and other countries who want to take the final far aware of the mayor. monica dam of which is killing is being blamed by many on the hateful political climate that's been fostered by poland's current ruling party but is the government likely to change its tone in the wake of this violent murder. well there is a big fear in poland right now the hateful climate even will even increase after this through either gee that was a political crime the mark there or wanted to take a political revenge on the liberal politicians and. you know you're in the morning time different political group blaming each other for this. speech of hate which is increasing in the media in the and in the politics in poland so that's the reason why the deep divisions in poland which already exist the political and social divisions even increased after this tragedy. while we also must mention that this tragedy in poland has sent shock waves far beyond the country's own border shocked many people throughout europe what do you think is the broader significance of what's happened and don

thought because poland must continue to evolve and improved. which we must maintain our credibility which you must ensure. no one of poland has any doubt that what we are doing is good genuine and responsive. their social welfare programs anti immigrant policies and social conservatism a popular with many polish people but the biggest opposition bloc says their divisive. people want cooperation they want us to show that we are able to overcome the splits that are in our country people don't want poland to be divided into parts people don't want their hearts broken because poles are not able to understand each other we're the ones who are promoting cooperation with the smaller parties also made against a left wing coalition is back in parliament and the far right exceeded poland's national vote in fresh shells and will also get seats. but the big winners are the lauren justice party during the campaign they promised to raise the minimum wage and not to grant rights to gay people it's this and judicial reforms that have drawn new criticism it say
