elect for poland's law and justice party which was recently reluctant to government and which is often criticized for being anti immigrant anti refugee but actually you're not anti immigrant and refugee you're ok with white christian immigrants from ukraine and you've taken around 2000000 of them in you're just not ok it seems what brown muslim refugees from the middle east white people find brown people not find there's a word for that isn't there dominic. good evening thank you for having me it has nothing to do with. it hasn't it hasn't it has nothing to do with the religion i keep repeating it for last 4 or 5 years it's all about safety and the common sense it's not law it's not about ukrainians who are allowed to come to poland it's about illegal migrants who wants to cross our borders and if you're brown and white yellow wall or whatever if you want to cross our border illegally you're not allowed we are reacting well 1st of all plenty of people are coming into your illegally as asylum seekers you have a legal right to asylum from places like syria but you say it's not about reli

the ground rule for fridays for future in poland is that all or activities are legal. this was even in terms of civil disobedience we stick to what's legal. we believe that way will have the biggest reach and the best chances of actually changing things in poland yes this is this. whole movement shares this principle that all those. we don't break the rules. then those on the surface of. their official demonstration stops outside the mine. on the other side the illegal one organized by the camp for climate action and extinction rebellion breaks through the police lines. in poland and elsewhere the activists are far from sure that they can really bring about change. a lot of missing is a move where you feel powerless but when you look over there and see how many people have gathered then you realize we might be in with a chance it's the elections it's we're trying to see in that number that all these great people have come together but of course when you look at this vast area of protests can feel insignificant such as them just absolute bullshit on that. back in dortmu

it or not because i remember it so vividly when it happened a few months before i had been living in poland for a number of years and an avid student of eastern european communist affairs at the time john 30 years on what is its meaning because i look at cursory reviews of you know that in commenting on it it is the people's power the rise of the spring of nations in eastern europe but that's a kind of a narrative that is very western i suppose but i lived there it was i don't have that same kind of feel for it ok though having said that i'm very glad those communist regimes are gone and the wall go ahead john. you know well like you peter i lived through those events very directly like you i was studying eastern european studies at oxford at that point i spent that summer in 1909 in romania and in hungary and indeed in september 89 i was in west berlin and was there when the 1st east berlin is arrived in west berlin having driven through czechoslovakia hungry austria and and the whole of germany so i have a very strong memory of it as well i would make 2 points the 1st is that none of it w

there's lots of coal mining in poland. this here is the worst kind. lignite mining. it's highly toxic but it's. the other problem is that many mines in poland until up to take it and emits a lot of pollutants over there is the mine. 84 percent of poland's electricity comes from fossil fuels such as cold and late night and just 14 percent from renewable energies in comparison 50 percent of electricity in germany is generated from fossil fuels 33 percent from renewable energies and 12 percent from nuclear power in france only 10 percent is derived from fossil fuels 18 percent from renewable energies and 72 percent from nuclear energy. yes got to that very good oh oh oh oh i just got to that's not going to oh oh oh that is go after that they're going to have 00000200 activists are taking part in the demonstration you're calling. many reporters are also here. tony and his friends with fridays for future are among the protesters. the police don't intervene. that that yes. i'm. not sure that. that's the protesters approach the mine the tensions rise. the police are worried

they went back to poland, the grandparents, then very quickly left poland and ended up in displaced persons camp in germany and that's where my grandfather died and my grandmother came in for you after the invasion.they separated from them they are all kinds of stories in some cases children, there was really there was really no food in oaks pakistan. it's hard to imagine because central asia was the labor front of the soviet army. the idea was, central asia would feed and dress the soviet army in order to enable it to fight the army knife they have to die come the locals have to die they will die. of course locals find ways to hide food. the refugees, they don't know how to hide food and also not farmers. there were other conditions of extreme malnutrition. if people wanted to get out of the soviet union if they had a chance they would do it but in some cases some families said whatever will be our fate will be our children's fate. in some cases children ran off. they ran off and they get on the train. in my case my grandparents decided to send their children. i feel like your book as many

ok but harold i agree i spent a lot of time in poland and one thing on jang on jeff hang on one thing is that i would tend to agree that maybe kind of split the difference with john here is that i think i know that there was a lot of people were disgruntled with the political and economic system they had in poland many were that is true ok but the pappas the of john paul the 2nd united people and what they didn't like it wasn't where they wanted to go that was very unclear that there wasn't even a glimmer in anyones eye of where they should go they just didn't know what they did they didn't know what they didn't like jeff uncorked jumpin a lot a lot of different things he did and again i think we got to we had a time delay go ahead jack i liked might be ok maybe yes go ahead well i agree i agree to a certain extent with both john and with highroad yes i agree i agree with joe on that goal which i hope was a factor in 1000 when the globe which of there's no there's no people's revolution in 1009 in the senate i don't agree with you on that goal which will pull the rug from under the ea

if you haven't bragged about the fact that you don't have mosques in poland i mean it sounds like you don't want them there because you're anti muslim an anti islam ok so let me let me go through the legal path to the society so legally you have to apply legally you're allowed to apply and this is up to us if we agree to to have you in poland that's number one then our society our structure i keep repeating that in many mosques we can hear about the draw for us home again it's a site the christian society is a value for me. multicultural society it's not a value i used to live in and on them i used to live there for 5 years i used to work in us and i see the fruits of multiculturalism for me it's not it's not a very choose for me it's not a value so we have a right to think about our future in a way we want to so christian culture roman law greek philos our 1st these are devoted differentials for us it's funny that you know it's funny that you mention can i jump in once again that sharia law in europe ok i am i am i don't remember let me think i mean lives in your country doesn't mean

now in case of this infringement procedure right here the european court of justice will tell poland you need to change something if they don't change anything then the commission come can come again bring it again to the european court of justice and then there might be fine so it's not you know it's it doesn't really sting in this case but as i mentioned there's a there's another procedure the article 7 procedure often called the nuclear option because in the end there might be a stripping of the voting rights for poland in the european union that would sting but the problem is it's up to the member states to decide that they need a 4th 5th majority and at the moment to look like they're going to do that because as you know for many decisions in the e.u. you need unanimity and that means you don't want to rattle the cage too much especially with all the problems that the e.u. is facing at the moment next you'll find these just as you know chief thank you very much and that is that and. turning now to chile where tens of thousands of people have again taken to the streets of the cap
