00:00:16thank you for your attention. Please stay with TVN Info, in a moment Eye on the World awaits
00:00:20you with Paweł Aramowicz Zieliński. Good evening, see
00:00:23you.
00:01:00The radical steamroller is rolling through Germany. AFD wins in another state, and
00:01:04CDU is on the brink. The largest Ukrainian
00:01:07drone attack on Russia, a powerful blow came on the last day of
00:01:11pseudo-elections. War reached the heart of Saudi Arabia, Houthi
00:01:15attacked near the capital's airport. Good
00:01:18evening, it's time for a review of the most important events from around the world. Paweł Aramowicz
00:01:21Zieliński
00:01:22invites you.
00:01:32German far-right is not slowing down after a victory in Saxony-
00:01:36Anhalt and a quite good result in Lower Saxony, there is a triumph in
00:01:39Mecklenburg- Western Pomerania. So now we will connect
00:01:43to Berlin, Magdalena Gwóźdź Palokat is there. Magda, good
00:01:46evening. At your place in the German capital there is no surprise.
00:01:50Tell us what are the reactions to the results in
00:01:53the north-east
00:01:54of the country?
00:01:58Well, there is a small surprise here too. in Berlin, because the left turned
00:02:02out to be stronger than the polls predicted, it has over
00:02:0425% support in the German capital. However, you're asking
00:02:08me about Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, which is a state bordering
00:02:12Poland. Here we have the latest results from
00:02:149:47 PM, literally just now, and the most
00:02:18surprising result here is the CDU's, because
00:02:21according to these results, the CDU did not achieve 5%
00:02:25in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Polls give it 4.9%.
00:02:28We are still talking not about the final results,
00:02:32so we are still cautious with these numbers,
00:02:35but there may be a situation in which, for the first time after the war,
00:02:39the CDU will not enter the state parliament, at least that's what the
00:02:43latest poll indicates, Alternative for Germany over
00:02:4638% support, while Social Democracy
00:02:50over 35% support, so AFD is in the lead, but
00:02:54without the possibility of ruling independently and without the possibility of ruling with others, because as
00:02:58we know, no party wants to rule
00:03:01with Alternative for Germany at the moment, despite this, happy, joyful
00:03:05and cheerful faces in Alternative for Germany,
00:03:09grim moods among the CDU members.
00:03:22Alternative for Germany, according to poll results, has the most support. This is a sensational result.
00:04:56the opening of the Nord Stream gas pipeline.
00:05:01it's anti-Polish, and what can you expect?
00:05:04Certainly border closures, so it seems to me
00:05:08that it's not in the interest of Poles living in the border area.
00:05:12in Berlin, Alternative for Germany can
00:05:16only dream of such results for now, although it is growing
00:05:19in strength here. For the first time we have such a strong right-wing
00:05:22populist party.
00:05:25The Left, which wants to control rents and take over apartments
00:05:29from large corporations. In our city, love and
00:05:32justice defeated hatred, we all showed
00:05:35this together, and this signal goes out
00:05:37to the world.
00:06:13halt, where the AFD won, well, then it was written
00:06:16about a knockout for Friedrich Merz, but there the CDU
00:06:20had 17%, and today in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania it has
00:06:24well, about five less, so what to call it, if it was a
00:06:27knockout then, well, it doesn't change anything, indeed,
00:06:31a true shock was the results of the previous
00:06:34elections in Saxony- Anhalt,
00:06:38that was a shock, now this one, which met the CDU,
00:06:40was announced. expected in this sense
00:06:44smaller, it is of course a very
00:06:47bitter defeat for the CDU, despite this,
00:06:50the CDU has not had much to say in the eastern states for a long time,
00:06:54of course there are exceptions, Saxony is such an
00:06:57exception,
00:06:59but
00:07:02what impressed me the most is a person who
00:07:05knows that actually nothing worse can happen to him now,
00:07:08and who knows what he should
00:07:11do. He has nothing to lose, he must
00:07:15do two things: first, he must implement reforms,
00:07:19and second, he must implement them in such a way that it makes an impression
00:07:22on people, which means he must change the
00:07:25reality, the actual situation, but also change the perception,
00:07:29the mood, the mood is very important, and part of that is
00:07:33language. Germany needs a slightly different language
00:07:36than the one that was in use until recently, because
00:07:39people think in a different language than the language
00:07:43spoken by political parties, these democratic parties must
00:07:47change this, I think it is possible and Merz
00:07:50will probably try to do so, and Merz has
00:07:53a chance to regain on the one hand
00:07:56support, on the other hand, perhaps most importantly, trust, because in his first words
00:08:00after the announcement of these exit polls, he said that
00:08:03this election result is a sign that people do not trust institutions, I mean, they don't
00:08:07trust him, they don't trust him, but of course the
00:08:11election result...
00:08:14is an expression of distrust in institutions, in the state, in that very state,
00:08:18and its institutions, so this is a more
00:08:21serious problem, that one should look at it
00:08:23in certain proportions, East Germany is still
00:08:27a smaller part of the Federal Republic,
00:08:31this wave is currently rolling from
00:08:34east to west, but when
00:08:38it touches, when it reaches the west, the western part
00:08:41no... there it subsides, there it weakens, now
00:08:45the question is whether it will also grow in the west
00:08:48under the influence of what happened in the east, or will it
00:08:51subside there, or will it even break against such a
00:08:55breakwater, an informal,
00:08:57invisible breakwater, because, after all, the western part
00:09:01of Germany is more rooted in the
00:09:04tradition of the Federal Republic, it is more western than the
00:09:08eastern part, not geographically, but politically, the s
00:09:43mood, but precisely to change this mood, that will be the
00:09:46most important task facing Chancellor Merz at this
00:09:50moment, so there is a chance that the
00:09:54diagnosis presented today will not turn out to be
00:09:57true. She said that the AFD is
00:10:00a new popular party, and in this position it has replaced
00:10:03the CDU in eastern Germany, which is true. In
00:10:07western Germany, this is premature
00:10:10joy, there are no reasons
00:10:13to expect this in western Germany, but it is true that if
00:10:17the ruling parties at
00:10:19the federal level, i.e., mainly the CDU, but also
00:10:22the SPD, fail to... again,
00:10:25I repeat, to change the mood and
00:10:28the reality,
00:10:31then Mrs. Weyer's prediction may
00:10:33turn out to be prophetic, it doesn't have to be, I don't believe that will
00:10:37happen, but of course it is such, it
00:10:40is the worst-case scenario,
00:10:44at the moment he still has a chance to prevent
00:10:47this from happening, I don't believe that anyone in this
00:10:51position can do it better, regain
00:10:56trust, he was once welcomed with great
00:10:59hopes at the beginning, politics
00:11:02is like that, divine grace rides a fast
00:11:05horse, sometimes up, sometimes down,
00:11:09so Merz is currently down, he was up,
00:11:13he has a chance to get back
00:11:16on top, so we should consider these elections in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania quite
00:11:19differently, maybe it's not a success for the AFD, but
00:11:23a success for the SPD. After all, the woman, contrary to what was said
00:11:27not so long ago in the polls, was not so high, and in
00:11:31fact, she alone led her party to such a high
00:11:35result. Yes, that's also interesting, it shows how great
00:11:38the power of personality is, because
00:11:41indeed, in this state, people voted less for
00:11:45the SPD and more for Mrs. Schwesig. This
00:11:48is an important and interesting signal, because it shows
00:11:51that although the AFD won there, Mrs.
00:11:55Schwesig achieved a result
00:11:57that allows her, so to speak, to
00:12:01think with hope about governing
00:12:04this state, and this is a signal that indicates
00:12:07how much personalities,
00:12:11leaders, or female leaders in this case, mean. Well, precisely, because
00:12:14the AFD, despite having even
00:12:17good results, does not have the ability
00:12:21to form any coalition, and do
00:12:25you, Mr. Ambassador, see any possibility
00:12:28that in the
00:12:31future this possibility will arise, that there will be some
00:12:34political parties across our western border that, just
00:12:38to survive, will be able to go hand
00:12:42in hand with the AFD?
00:12:44For now, that seems impossible. In the future, it cannot be
00:12:48entirely ruled out, but the most important question is
00:12:51how much influence the AFD can have on
00:12:55politics at the federal level. Merz makes the impression of someone
00:12:59who has clearly made
00:13:01a decision that, especially in matters of foreign
00:13:04policy, he will not make any concessions. This is especially
00:13:08important for us, because what the AFD and
00:13:11Die Linke would expect from him are concessions regarding
00:13:15policy towards Russia or Ukraine, which is support
00:13:19for Ukraine. Germany is currently the largest payer,
00:13:22the largest donor of aid to Ukraine. If
00:13:25Germany were to fall out of this role, if Germany were to
00:13:29withdraw from this aid, it would be a disaster for
00:13:32Ukraine, so this is a matter of enormous importance for all of
00:13:35Europe, and Merz makes the impression of someone who says
00:13:39clearly, there will be no concessions on this issue.
00:13:43I think he will now go on the
00:13:46offensive, it is very important that he comes out of this
00:13:49deep defensive position he found himself in, if he succeeds,
00:13:52then he has a chance, if he succeeds, then
00:13:55this is, this is just the beginning
00:13:59of the end, and this diagnosis was presented to us by Mr. Janusz Richter, Mr.
00:14:02Ambassador, thank you very much for the conversation, thank you
00:14:04very much.
00:14:08This was the biggest attack since the beginning of the war,
00:14:11Ukrainians attacked what is most valuable to Russians, namely
00:14:14refineries, just 15 km from the Kremlin walls.
00:14:18The sounds of powerful explosions woke Russians up on the last day of their
00:14:21pseudo-parliamentary elections, because although the result is.
00:14:55polling stations under fire, this is the largest
00:14:58Ukrainian retaliatory attack to date, aimed at
00:15:01the Russian regime. Our long-range actions had
00:15:05a very significant impact last night on the situation in the
00:15:08Moscow region. One of the key Russian oil industry facilities
00:15:11and the aggressor's logistics facility were hit, this is
00:15:14billions of dollars that sustain the war
00:15:17machine. Black plumes of smoke from the refinery in
00:15:20Kapotnya district, the Russian dictator could watch from his
00:15:24residence. because it is only
00:15:2815 km away. The target
00:15:30of the attack was also supposed to be the Moscow online voting
00:15:33system. Do you expect any
00:15:36changes? Changes in election results? Unfortunately
00:15:40not, because everything has already been decided a long time ago. Voting
00:15:44remains under strict control of the Kremlin and is described as
00:15:47neither free, nor fair, nor
00:15:49transparent.
00:15:52the demand to end the bloodshed in Ukraine enjoys very strong
00:15:55support. I think most people in Russia want peace today, and
00:15:59Yabloko helped people express this position, which is why the party
00:16:02was removed from the electoral lists and why individual
00:16:05candidates are not allowed to run.
00:16:08In a gesture of protest, the leader of the opposition Yabloko, Nikolai Rybakov,
00:16:11demonstratively invalidated his ballot by writing on it the name of
00:16:15his party and the slogan for
00:16:17peace.
00:16:22The situation must be serious, because Donald Trump interrupted his weekend
00:16:26rest and unexpectedly returned to the White House
00:16:29yesterday. In the Middle East, the situation has
00:16:33significantly worsened. Supported by Iran, the Houthis
00:16:35launched a salvo of missiles. We will
00:16:55burn them, we will hunt them down to their hideouts, this
00:16:58war will be decisive.
00:17:00The Houthi attacked with ballistic and cruise missiles
00:17:04and drones, the targets were not only Yemen.
00:17:23Yemen, but the stakes of this war are higher. The Houthis captured
00:17:27Mocha, a strategic port on the Red Sea, and
00:17:30control positions near Bab al-Mandab, a strait
00:17:33through which one of the world's most important trade routes passes.
00:17:37This is particularly dangerous for the global oil
00:17:40market. Maritime navigation is safe for
00:17:43all companies, with the exception of Saudi ships covered by
00:17:47the previously announced ban, we will respond
00:17:50to a blockade with a blockade, to escalation with escalation,
00:17:54until the aggression ends. Ankara
00:17:57declares its readiness to help Riyadh within the framework of the pact
00:18:01signed last month by Turkey, Saudi Arabia and
00:18:04Pakistan, an armed attack on one of the member
00:18:08states is to be treated as an attack on all.
00:18:12Saudi Arabia may need military support, especially in certain
00:18:15technical matters, we would have no problem providing
00:18:19such assistance. And in the background is Iran. Tehran
00:18:22signals that it wants an end to the Saudi-Yemeni war,
00:18:26but sets its own conditions for Washington. The end of
00:18:30fighting on all fronts, the unfreezing of Iranian
00:18:33assets and the lifting of the American naval
00:18:36blockade. until the United States accepts and
00:18:39adheres to them. The atmosphere is thickening. Donald
00:18:43Trump unexpectedly cut short his weekend David and
00:18:47returned to the White House a day earlier than planned.
00:18:50Pentagon chief Pete Heckset interrupted his stay in
00:18:53Texas.
00:18:58He remained silent for a long time, but when he finally spoke, he made no secret of his regret.
00:19:02Iran apologized and admitted its mistake. This concerns the controversy
00:19:05surrounding his concert tour. They removed a rapper who supported Palestine,
00:19:09now the artist says he is sorry about it. Agnieszka
00:19:12Śmiechowska.
00:19:15His music, combining pop with elements of folk rock, has
00:19:18attracted millions of fans worldwide for years, but after
00:19:22the concert in Philadelphia, it's not Ed Sheeran's show that's being commented
00:19:25on, but the words that were spoken before the music
00:19:29began. What happened in Israel at the Nova
00:19:32music festival on October 7th was terrifying and deepened
00:19:36centuries of suffering.
00:20:37Ed Sheeran's fortune is estimated at around 400 million
00:20:41dollars, he could have afforded to cancel a few concerts, but
00:20:44he was too cowardly.
00:20:47If you don't choose a side, that means you already have.
