Butlins a day critics asked why poland was made illegal to say that the book also cold blooded issues during the second was born. And up the Winter Olympics this received a struck by the dreaded nordell virus the finds have gotten as good as the best of the sporting action of the day in cotton chalk. Dust the book incontestably opens for the first time with an animation felt. Awful because layover not just we get the budget on a Wes Andersons idol dogs and we also take a look at the stock in the goods being played by the me to campaign at this years body not a. Place. Called a warm welcome to the show im under thought she. Till the security is in the spotlight at the Munich Security Conference which opens today the bavarian capital in southern germany is preparing to kick off the annual high profile event it has deployed four thousand Police Officers to protect delegates its a three day forum that brings together was leaders top diplomats and military experts from nato the e. U. And the United Nations to discuss security policy. The us President Donald Trump will not be at the see as event but his Foreign Policy will be looming large the specially for european nations under pressure from the u. S. To do more for their own defense. Has the impetuous Foreign Policy of donald trump pushed the International Border to the brink of catastrophe or has the u. S. Leaders bullying been a blessing in disguise edging europe toward the selfsufficiency its long known it needs all of the above says ben discovery of belgiums Egmont Institute theres a strong i think among your Member States that somehow the need to pull together because because nobody is going to come on the surface the more directly opposed to european interest u. S. Initiatives are the more european auction youll see one of the most promising european actions has been the creation of pascoe permanent structured cooperation a pact and so far twenty five European Union governments pledging to finally Exchange Information on capabilities make collective purchases and launch deployments pascoes corden aided by the European Defense agency e. T. A. Chief executive or he domestic challenges always comes with opportunities and i think in the defense the main that is the case the European Union i think has got to the brink walkup i think we have. To work on it but not everyones reassured by promises of more contributions and accord nation europes borders can only be protected by more combat ready forces and the will to use them warrants Atlanta Council senior fellow a lizard with broad hand if there are threats or an invasion. Into one of our countries can respond quickly and if we concert then the long and the wont. Matter whether we spend two percent one percent or ten percent will any of this matter if the u. S. And russia continue threatening Nuclear Escalation which may entirely redefine where the brink is and how close we are to it. And Nuclear Escalation was a question which our chief political editor. Put to the chairman of the Munich Security Conference the phone would have been deployed much wolf. Im asked to sing at the world has learnt of the past year what to expect from the United States how important is a potential confrontation with russia also particularly in syria to the security environment this is a worrisome situation its worrisome because there are so many powerful actors involved russia the United States as you say turkey iran israel. Etc and as a european as a representative of a nato member country we need to be particularly concerned about the fact that this is a highly unusual situation where one nato country appears to be. Staging a possible military confrontation against another nato country what kind of crisis for nato would that be if there were some really a clash between turkish and American Forces in the region so this is obviously going to be one of the highlights. Of our discussions here in munich and im glad to say that everybody who has something to say and who has something to the side of the situation is going to be right here at the beach security conference what are you aiming for here what would be a positive outcome well i dont expect the Munich Security Conference to be the place where all of a sudden you know by a stroke of miraculous activity things will get better what i do expect and what i hope is that they will at least talk to each other the russians to the americans netanyahu hopefully to some of the actors he doesnt like from the region but i think he needs to talk to them i hope they will talk to him. The best would be if there were a discussion between saudi arabia and iran if there were a discussion between iran and israel thats only a hope not a firm expectation that just briefly whats the biggest threat at the moment in your assessment. Well i would say its not just one several its what we were just talking about the the middle east the instability the middle east the risks of major conflict its the Nuclear Problem with north korea which is not going away even though we have nice pictures from the olympics and it is the unresolved issue of how we in the west deal with russia think of donbass think of a brain think of crimea unresolved people die every day in these conflicts so there is not just one its three at least and i could give you a much longer list master thank you very much for talking to us. So that was a me talking to both now joins me from new next week to describe the current security situation as the most difficult since the end of the cold war what more can you tell us about his concerns. Yes really theres two issues here the first was the fragmentation there are many different com conflicts and the International Diplomatic scene has become more complex with a perceived withdrawal of the United States as a pro Prominent International force that is something that the International Community certainly learnt of the past year and then more specifically you have the Nuclear Threat you have north korea where for the this olympics truce is going on during theres a limit games with the many question marks whether that will outlast these really beautiful pictures from the Olympic Games and what. Also stresses that there seems to be a loss of trust particularly between the use of the United States and russia lets just remind ourselves we did see u. S. Bombs actually killing russian nationals on the ground in syria that is a new quality of potential confrontation there and of course nato allies suppose it allies turkey and the United States being on different sides when it comes to Northern Syria so theres a lot of reason to talk but it seems theres not very much trust to go around at this moment in time many high profile visitors and experts are attending give us a foretaste to what we can expect from this conference at issues where they could be some movement. Well we certainly expect a keynote speech from germanys defense minister was there from the line with germany also being in the spotlight on how much money they will put to its pledge of actually taking a greater role in the future and also on the whole middle east issue we have been met in yahoo the israeli Prime Minister here with potential for talks there but have too High Expectations when it comes to such an informal gathering. That we had in munich thank you very much for that. And well bring you all the latest updates from the conference track today. And over the weekend now after a Heated Exchange between washington and on korea on thursday u. S. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson sat down with his turkish counterpart today in hopes of easing tensions over their diverging interests in syria the u. S. Is backing kurdish fighters their fight is a turkey describes as terrorists after the meeting to this an arch turkey to be cautious in their cross Border Military operations against the syrian cuts have a listen call on turkey to show restraint in its operation to minimize the casualties to civilians and avoid actions that would escalate tensions in that area. From the beginning weve been transparent with turkey regarding our objectives in syria. We have always been clear with turkey that the weapons provided to the Syrian Democratic forces would be limited Mission Specific and provided all an experimental basis to achieve military objectives only that was the us secretary of state Rex Tillerson the polish Prime Minister coming to butt in today for a visit that was meant to improve prickly relations between the two neighbors instead he living out his governments case for new policies which many see as highly controversial among them pulling his advise its citizens abroad to report criticism of the country to its embassies while so also stands accused of white washing the role of pones in the holocaust. In warsaw history is never far away. Its a city built on the ruins left by more than five years of brutal nazi German Occupation during World War Two. More than seventy years on and polands present government worries that memory of the war is blurring inside and outside the country. Particularly when it comes to the fate of polands three million jewish dead shifting the blame for nazi crimes committed on polish soil to the poles themselves and downplaying christian poles support for their persecuted jewish battery its when president obama mistakenly referred to auschwitz as a polish death camp back in twenty twelve he its a rule no. A government sponsored p. R. Campaign seeks to redress that imbalance you tube ads targeted it uses in europe in israel seek to open foreigners eyes to polands war record. More controversially a new law makes it a criminal offense to attribute nazi crimes to the polish nation its critics fear it could effectively criminalize open discussion of the holocaust rendering stories of individual poles collaboration off limits the new legislation has drawn stiff criticism from israel and the u. S. But for now the government seems unimpressed. Adventure when you are this low will protect the polish nation and the polish people from false accusations its just like the laws against Holocaust Denial going to go on your holocaust. But for this m. P. From polands governing party the present lore is not the end of the line when it comes to addressing his countrys troubled past the g. A. M. Say it to the present day germany has still not paid poland war reparations poland lost twelve million of its citizens and fifty percent of it territory no one has made amends for this. Carolyn of the guru. Is an expert on historical memory and polands Jewish Community she says the law was rushed through in a hurry and is dangerously vague it is visible that the government did not expect such or such a reaction that the law was actually poorly prepared and that they werent able to foresee the consequences we head toward the only surviving prewar synagogue before the holocaust the citys Jewish Community numbered some three hundred thousand people today fewer than ten thousand remain but how is the new law being received here people do not feel restrained as such but people feel is there a place for me in poland today and its a horrible statement for me to say the poles suffered horribly during World War Two there were fantastic euros of the righteous among the nations the best people in the world and you also have individual poles and sometimes even groups of poles the collaborated with the germans and led to the murder of jews all those statements are true and in a Democratic Free poland we need to be able to say them openly without any fear of being prosecuted in court. Is booming leaving ever few of physical reminders of the war on the city streets but the memory shows no sign of fading quite the opposite as the question of who and what to remember comes to dominate polands politics.

Youre watching the debate is coming up ahead Wes Andersons new film i love dogs openings this is bill in Film Festival was it a pretty agree picture or a lot of a movie after the critic has the verdict. But first to monica for Business News in germanys ongoing problems with dirty fuels yeah and a very strange solution could be just around the corner there should german taxpayers foot the bill for the update of air polluting diesel costs and Government Advisors argue in favor of the idea it would see owners of affected cost receive an incentive to have the modified and at the same time relieve comedy because from their responsibility to bear the costs for the necessary conversion germany is under pressure from the European Union because the nitrogen oxide emissions in many cities are too high cost with diesel engines are considered the main course and the German Government hopes it can avoid driving bans. Well an interesting combination of politics and business which is why id like to turn now to open at a correspondent nina has an ina who came up with that idea the taxpayers should foot the bill for diesel upgrades and how likely is it that the new government if we get one will adopt it. Well you mentioned the key the key word there is the fear of driving bans that is putting the German Government under tremendous pressure in actual fact next week we have a court ruling here in germany where a court may actually argue that we need driving bans that not only are they allowed but that they need that they are required to improve the air quality and at the moment some seventy cities here in germany are considered to be of poor quality and the pressure has been growing that the German Government is desperate to find solutions theyve come up with various measures so it wouldnt be the first time that the taxpayers are actually paying weve seen bonuses for people who convert their cars individually weve also had the suggestion that public transport could be free so this is the latest attempt and of course we have to look at the current Government Coalition that is the same one as the one that we could potentially see in april so if this government comes into force then yes we will also see those measures in place but wouldnt clean the engine simply be the solution i mean why is the german cami industry seemingly let off the hook here in germany theres going to only be explained with a very special role that the car industry has for the German Economy figures vary but some people are saying up to seven jobs out of ten sorry one in seven jobs depends on the car industry here in germany and to the larger extent and of course there is a very strong lobby right there on the the solution for diesel gauge here in germany thank you so much.
