[00:00:16] thank you for your attention. Please stay with TVN Info, in a moment Eye on the World awaits
[00:00:20] you with Paweł Aramowicz Zieliński. Good evening, see
[00:00:23] you.
[00:01:00] The radical steamroller is rolling through Germany. AFD wins in another state, and
[00:01:04] CDU is on the brink. The largest Ukrainian
[00:01:07] drone attack on Russia, a powerful blow came on the last day of
[00:01:11] pseudo-elections. War reached the heart of Saudi Arabia, Houthi
[00:01:15] attacked near the capital's airport. Good
[00:01:18] evening, it's time for a review of the most important events from around the world. Paweł Aramowicz
[00:01:21] Zieliński
[00:01:22] invites you.
[00:01:32] German far-right is not slowing down after a victory in Saxony-
[00:01:36] Anhalt and a quite good result in Lower Saxony, there is a triumph in
[00:01:39] Mecklenburg- Western Pomerania. So now we will connect
[00:01:43] to Berlin, Magdalena Gwóźdź Palokat is there. Magda, good
[00:01:46] evening. At your place in the German capital there is no surprise.
[00:01:50] Tell us what are the reactions to the results in
[00:01:53] the north-east
[00:01:54] of the country?
[00:01:58] Well, there is a small surprise here too. in Berlin, because the left turned
[00:02:02] out to be stronger than the polls predicted, it has over
[00:02:04] 25% support in the German capital. However, you're asking
[00:02:08] me about Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, which is a state bordering
[00:02:12] Poland. Here we have the latest results from
[00:02:14] 9:47 PM, literally just now, and the most
[00:02:18] surprising result here is the CDU's, because
[00:02:21] according to these results, the CDU did not achieve 5%
[00:02:25] in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Polls give it 4.9%.
[00:02:28] We are still talking not about the final results,
[00:02:32] so we are still cautious with these numbers,
[00:02:35] but there may be a situation in which, for the first time after the war,
[00:02:39] the CDU will not enter the state parliament, at least that's what the
[00:02:43] latest poll indicates, Alternative for Germany over
[00:02:46] 38% support, while Social Democracy
[00:02:50] over 35% support, so AFD is in the lead, but
[00:02:54] without the possibility of ruling independently and without the possibility of ruling with others, because as
[00:02:58] we know, no party wants to rule
[00:03:01] with Alternative for Germany at the moment, despite this, happy, joyful
[00:03:05] and cheerful faces in Alternative for Germany,
[00:03:09] grim moods among the CDU members.
[00:03:22] Alternative for Germany, according to poll results, has the most support. This is a sensational result.
[00:04:56] the opening of the Nord Stream gas pipeline.
[00:05:01] it's anti-Polish, and what can you expect?
[00:05:04] Certainly border closures, so it seems to me
[00:05:08] that it's not in the interest of Poles living in the border area.
[00:05:12] in Berlin, Alternative for Germany can
[00:05:16] only dream of such results for now, although it is growing
[00:05:19] in strength here. For the first time we have such a strong right-wing
[00:05:22] populist party.
[00:05:25] The Left, which wants to control rents and take over apartments
[00:05:29] from large corporations. In our city, love and
[00:05:32] justice defeated hatred, we all showed
[00:05:35] this together, and this signal goes out
[00:05:37] to the world.
[00:06:13] halt, where the AFD won, well, then it was written
[00:06:16] about a knockout for Friedrich Merz, but there the CDU
[00:06:20] had 17%, and today in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania it has
[00:06:24] well, about five less, so what to call it, if it was a
[00:06:27] knockout then, well, it doesn't change anything, indeed,
[00:06:31] a true shock was the results of the previous
[00:06:34] elections in Saxony- Anhalt,
[00:06:38] that was a shock, now this one, which met the CDU,
[00:06:40] was announced. expected in this sense
[00:06:44] smaller, it is of course a very
[00:06:47] bitter defeat for the CDU, despite this,
[00:06:50] the CDU has not had much to say in the eastern states for a long time,
[00:06:54] of course there are exceptions, Saxony is such an
[00:06:57] exception,
[00:06:59] but
[00:07:02] what impressed me the most is a person who
[00:07:05] knows that actually nothing worse can happen to him now,
[00:07:08] and who knows what he should
[00:07:11] do. He has nothing to lose, he must
[00:07:15] do two things: first, he must implement reforms,
[00:07:19] and second, he must implement them in such a way that it makes an impression
[00:07:22] on people, which means he must change the
[00:07:25] reality, the actual situation, but also change the perception,
[00:07:29] the mood, the mood is very important, and part of that is
[00:07:33] language. Germany needs a slightly different language
[00:07:36] than the one that was in use until recently, because
[00:07:39] people think in a different language than the language
[00:07:43] spoken by political parties, these democratic parties must
[00:07:47] change this, I think it is possible and Merz
[00:07:50] will probably try to do so, and Merz has
[00:07:53] a chance to regain on the one hand
[00:07:56] support, on the other hand, perhaps most importantly, trust, because in his first words
[00:08:00] after the announcement of these exit polls, he said that
[00:08:03] this election result is a sign that people do not trust institutions, I mean, they don't
[00:08:07] trust him, they don't trust him, but of course the
[00:08:11] election result...
[00:08:14] is an expression of distrust in institutions, in the state, in that very state,
[00:08:18] and its institutions, so this is a more
[00:08:21] serious problem, that one should look at it
[00:08:23] in certain proportions, East Germany is still
[00:08:27] a smaller part of the Federal Republic,
[00:08:31] this wave is currently rolling from
[00:08:34] east to west, but when
[00:08:38] it touches, when it reaches the west, the western part
[00:08:41] no... there it subsides, there it weakens, now
[00:08:45] the question is whether it will also grow in the west
[00:08:48] under the influence of what happened in the east, or will it
[00:08:51] subside there, or will it even break against such a
[00:08:55] breakwater, an informal,
[00:08:57] invisible breakwater, because, after all, the western part
[00:09:01] of Germany is more rooted in the
[00:09:04] tradition of the Federal Republic, it is more western than the
[00:09:08] eastern part, not geographically, but politically, the s
[00:09:43] mood, but precisely to change this mood, that will be the
[00:09:46] most important task facing Chancellor Merz at this
[00:09:50] moment, so there is a chance that the
[00:09:54] diagnosis presented today will not turn out to be
[00:09:57] true. She said that the AFD is
[00:10:00] a new popular party, and in this position it has replaced
[00:10:03] the CDU in eastern Germany, which is true. In
[00:10:07] western Germany, this is premature
[00:10:10] joy, there are no reasons
[00:10:13] to expect this in western Germany, but it is true that if
[00:10:17] the ruling parties at
[00:10:19] the federal level, i.e., mainly the CDU, but also
[00:10:22] the SPD, fail to... again,
[00:10:25] I repeat, to change the mood and
[00:10:28] the reality,
[00:10:31] then Mrs. Weyer's prediction may
[00:10:33] turn out to be prophetic, it doesn't have to be, I don't believe that will
[00:10:37] happen, but of course it is such, it
[00:10:40] is the worst-case scenario,
[00:10:44] at the moment he still has a chance to prevent
[00:10:47] this from happening, I don't believe that anyone in this
[00:10:51] position can do it better, regain
[00:10:56] trust, he was once welcomed with great
[00:10:59] hopes at the beginning, politics
[00:11:02] is like that, divine grace rides a fast
[00:11:05] horse, sometimes up, sometimes down,
[00:11:09] so Merz is currently down, he was up,
[00:11:13] he has a chance to get back
[00:11:16] on top, so we should consider these elections in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania quite
[00:11:19] differently, maybe it's not a success for the AFD, but
[00:11:23] a success for the SPD. After all, the woman, contrary to what was said
[00:11:27] not so long ago in the polls, was not so high, and in
[00:11:31] fact, she alone led her party to such a high
[00:11:35] result. Yes, that's also interesting, it shows how great
[00:11:38] the power of personality is, because
[00:11:41] indeed, in this state, people voted less for
[00:11:45] the SPD and more for Mrs. Schwesig. This
[00:11:48] is an important and interesting signal, because it shows
[00:11:51] that although the AFD won there, Mrs.
[00:11:55] Schwesig achieved a result
[00:11:57] that allows her, so to speak, to
[00:12:01] think with hope about governing
[00:12:04] this state, and this is a signal that indicates
[00:12:07] how much personalities,
[00:12:11] leaders, or female leaders in this case, mean. Well, precisely, because
[00:12:14] the AFD, despite having even
[00:12:17] good results, does not have the ability
[00:12:21] to form any coalition, and do
[00:12:25] you, Mr. Ambassador, see any possibility
[00:12:28] that in the
[00:12:31] future this possibility will arise, that there will be some
[00:12:34] political parties across our western border that, just
[00:12:38] to survive, will be able to go hand
[00:12:42] in hand with the AFD?
[00:12:44] For now, that seems impossible. In the future, it cannot be
[00:12:48] entirely ruled out, but the most important question is
[00:12:51] how much influence the AFD can have on
[00:12:55] politics at the federal level. Merz makes the impression of someone
[00:12:59] who has clearly made
[00:13:01] a decision that, especially in matters of foreign
[00:13:04] policy, he will not make any concessions. This is especially
[00:13:08] important for us, because what the AFD and
[00:13:11] Die Linke would expect from him are concessions regarding
[00:13:15] policy towards Russia or Ukraine, which is support
[00:13:19] for Ukraine. Germany is currently the largest payer,
[00:13:22] the largest donor of aid to Ukraine. If
[00:13:25] Germany were to fall out of this role, if Germany were to
[00:13:29] withdraw from this aid, it would be a disaster for
[00:13:32] Ukraine, so this is a matter of enormous importance for all of
[00:13:35] Europe, and Merz makes the impression of someone who says
[00:13:39] clearly, there will be no concessions on this issue.
[00:13:43] I think he will now go on the
[00:13:46] offensive, it is very important that he comes out of this
[00:13:49] deep defensive position he found himself in, if he succeeds,
[00:13:52] then he has a chance, if he succeeds, then
[00:13:55] this is, this is just the beginning
[00:13:59] of the end, and this diagnosis was presented to us by Mr. Janusz Richter, Mr.
[00:14:02] Ambassador, thank you very much for the conversation, thank you
[00:14:04] very much.
[00:14:08] This was the biggest attack since the beginning of the war,
[00:14:11] Ukrainians attacked what is most valuable to Russians, namely
[00:14:14] refineries, just 15 km from the Kremlin walls.
[00:14:18] The sounds of powerful explosions woke Russians up on the last day of their
[00:14:21] pseudo-parliamentary elections, because although the result is.
[00:14:55] polling stations under fire, this is the largest
[00:14:58] Ukrainian retaliatory attack to date, aimed at
[00:15:01] the Russian regime. Our long-range actions had
[00:15:05] a very significant impact last night on the situation in the
[00:15:08] Moscow region. One of the key Russian oil industry facilities
[00:15:11] and the aggressor's logistics facility were hit, this is
[00:15:14] billions of dollars that sustain the war
[00:15:17] machine. Black plumes of smoke from the refinery in
[00:15:20] Kapotnya district, the Russian dictator could watch from his
[00:15:24] residence. because it is only
[00:15:28] 15 km away. The target
[00:15:30] of the attack was also supposed to be the Moscow online voting
[00:15:33] system. Do you expect any
[00:15:36] changes? Changes in election results? Unfortunately
[00:15:40] not, because everything has already been decided a long time ago. Voting
[00:15:44] remains under strict control of the Kremlin and is described as
[00:15:47] neither free, nor fair, nor
[00:15:49] transparent.
[00:15:52] the demand to end the bloodshed in Ukraine enjoys very strong
[00:15:55] support. I think most people in Russia want peace today, and
[00:15:59] Yabloko helped people express this position, which is why the party
[00:16:02] was removed from the electoral lists and why individual
[00:16:05] candidates are not allowed to run.
[00:16:08] In a gesture of protest, the leader of the opposition Yabloko, Nikolai Rybakov,
[00:16:11] demonstratively invalidated his ballot by writing on it the name of
[00:16:15] his party and the slogan for
[00:16:17] peace.
[00:16:22] The situation must be serious, because Donald Trump interrupted his weekend
[00:16:26] rest and unexpectedly returned to the White House
[00:16:29] yesterday. In the Middle East, the situation has
[00:16:33] significantly worsened. Supported by Iran, the Houthis
[00:16:35] launched a salvo of missiles. We will
[00:16:55] burn them, we will hunt them down to their hideouts, this
[00:16:58] war will be decisive.
[00:17:00] The Houthi attacked with ballistic and cruise missiles
[00:17:04] and drones, the targets were not only Yemen.
[00:17:23] Yemen, but the stakes of this war are higher. The Houthis captured
[00:17:27] Mocha, a strategic port on the Red Sea, and
[00:17:30] control positions near Bab al-Mandab, a strait
[00:17:33] through which one of the world's most important trade routes passes.
[00:17:37] This is particularly dangerous for the global oil
[00:17:40] market. Maritime navigation is safe for
[00:17:43] all companies, with the exception of Saudi ships covered by
[00:17:47] the previously announced ban, we will respond
[00:17:50] to a blockade with a blockade, to escalation with escalation,
[00:17:54] until the aggression ends. Ankara
[00:17:57] declares its readiness to help Riyadh within the framework of the pact
[00:18:01] signed last month by Turkey, Saudi Arabia and
[00:18:04] Pakistan, an armed attack on one of the member
[00:18:08] states is to be treated as an attack on all.
[00:18:12] Saudi Arabia may need military support, especially in certain
[00:18:15] technical matters, we would have no problem providing
[00:18:19] such assistance. And in the background is Iran. Tehran
[00:18:22] signals that it wants an end to the Saudi-Yemeni war,
[00:18:26] but sets its own conditions for Washington. The end of
[00:18:30] fighting on all fronts, the unfreezing of Iranian
[00:18:33] assets and the lifting of the American naval
[00:18:36] blockade. until the United States accepts and
[00:18:39] adheres to them. The atmosphere is thickening. Donald
[00:18:43] Trump unexpectedly cut short his weekend David and
[00:18:47] returned to the White House a day earlier than planned.
[00:18:50] Pentagon chief Pete Heckset interrupted his stay in
[00:18:53] Texas.
[00:18:58] He remained silent for a long time, but when he finally spoke, he made no secret of his regret.
[00:19:02] Iran apologized and admitted its mistake. This concerns the controversy
[00:19:05] surrounding his concert tour. They removed a rapper who supported Palestine,
[00:19:09] now the artist says he is sorry about it. Agnieszka
[00:19:12] Śmiechowska.
[00:19:15] His music, combining pop with elements of folk rock, has
[00:19:18] attracted millions of fans worldwide for years, but after
[00:19:22] the concert in Philadelphia, it's not Ed Sheeran's show that's being commented
[00:19:25] on, but the words that were spoken before the music
[00:19:29] began. What happened in Israel at the Nova
[00:19:32] music festival on October 7th was terrifying and deepened
[00:19:36] centuries of suffering.
[00:20:37] Ed Sheeran's fortune is estimated at around 400 million
[00:20:41] dollars, he could have afforded to cancel a few concerts, but
[00:20:44] he was too cowardly.
[00:20:47] If you don't choose a side, that means you already have.
