:03:57. > :04:00.often do to clear the air, where you kind of advice as many questions as
:04:01. > :04:06.people can throw at you. So he went round the room asking, answering
:04:07. > :04:09.multiple questions and hitting some of the controversial issues that
:04:10. > :04:13.people will ask about him, number one, does he have a good
:04:14. > :04:16.relationship with the President's chief of staff. They have previously

:04:38. > :04:40.out there. That is certainly the frustration on the part of the
:04:41. > :04:42.president that has led to this big change. He believes his message
:04:43. > :04:46.isn't getting across. And we have seen Sean Spicer bit by bit edged
:04:47. > :04:51.out over the last few weeks, doing fewer and fewer briefings, many not
:04:52. > :04:56.trip to Paris last week, did not get trip to Paris last week, did not get
:04:57. > :05:03.on the plane, not on Air Force One. And now he has finally had to
:05:04. > :05:04.resign. And I think that was coming, certainly the appointment of

:05:32. > :05:36.believes he can communicate better than anyone else. You often hear him
:05:37. > :05:41.bragging about the amount of people following him on social media. He
:05:42. > :05:46.knows how that can move the news cycle. He believes he has his own
:05:47. > :05:50.best spokesman. I think that is one of the frustrations he has felt was
:05:51. > :05:55.Sean Spicer. What you saw there was him getting some new people in that

:09:49. > :09:58.prayers at the holy site. So the Palestinians prayed in the streets.
:09:59. > :10:01.And then the tensions exploded. The violins played out in pockets in

:10:56. > :11:01.detectors into the mosque compound. Instead they started praying in the

:15:50. > :15:59.an innocent chat. We found pupils live
:16:00. > :16:06.streaming across the country. And they've all been using this -
:16:07. > :16:09.Periscope, an app owned by Twitter, which allows users to broadcast
:16:10. > :16:15.live from anywhere. And our investigation found children

:17:22. > :17:24.to the NSPCC's head Well, it's very

:19:02. > :19:04.the Centre for International Relations, about the divisions
:19:05. > :19:16.in the country as a result All the situation is really serious
:19:17. > :19:24.now and it is very sad because it seems we are losing the ability to
:19:25. > :19:28.discuss things. It is also among people. People, in Polish society is
:19:29. > :19:34.very divided. It seems like it is one step too far. No one says the
:19:35. > :19:37.ruling party doesn't have a right to post the changes, or implement
:19:38. > :19:42.reforms, but the way they are doing this and what they are proposing is
:19:43. > :19:45.very controversial and needs wide political debate. But the Government
:19:46. > :19:55.is not open to that. So the question is not open to that. So the question
:19:56. > :19:59.would be how are we able to build community if we just want to accept
:20:00. > :20:02.one point of view and Polish society as a very difficult and complex
:20:03. > :20:08.history. There are people who think many different ways here. Not all
:20:09. > :20:13.the people support the party. So the question is are we still able to
:20:14. > :20:18.make a dialogue to discuss. By the way, this is why people go out to
:20:19. > :20:24.protest and this is really serious. Protests are massive all over the
:20:25. > :20:29.country. Because we are very much, this is how we started our
:20:30. > :20:33.transformation process. In the late 80s, even before the Berlin Wall
:20:34. > :20:42.collapsed, we had a Round Table discussion, after 26 years it seems
:20:43. > :20:48.like this furniture is not needed and that is why people are wary and
:20:49. > :20:52.frightened. Because we understand very well that society is divided,
:20:53. > :20:56.we need to discuss the things, there are people who think in many
:20:57. > :21:01.different ways here, so only the way and dialogue can save us. Otherwise
:21:02. > :21:06.we are heading nowhere. So when you talk about dialogue, the EU has
:21:07. > :21:12.voiced its concerns. The Government have a rocky relationship with
:21:13. > :21:19.Brussels, but will they listen to what the international community has
:21:20. > :21:24.expressed? The answer is we do not know. We just hope they well. This
:21:25. > :21:29.is something we can expect from the US administration, in not a very
:21:30. > :21:34.formal way. Somehow behind-the-scenes this can happen
:21:35. > :21:37.and is definitely happening, this push for sitting together,
:21:38. > :21:42.discussing things with the opposition also, with the EU the
:21:43. > :21:47.situation is better because we are a member state so we are a part of the
:21:48. > :21:52.European Union. It means it is not really a foreign country or
:21:53. > :21:58.organisation for us, we are a part of it. We are a part of all the EU
:21:59. > :22:01.institutions. And of course for the European Union it is a very serious
:22:02. > :22:09.challenge now because one of the member states isn't behaving in the
:22:10. > :22:10.way the others do. So the question is what the European institutions
:22:11. > :22:21.can do. Let's get all the sports news. The
