31.01.2025The Day Ziobro Walked Into Police Hands
The morning began with police searching multiple locations for former Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro, wanted for testimony before the Pegasus commission. Ziobro appeared at TV Republika studio, where police arrived during his live interview. After initial resistance from TV staff, he surrendered to authorities.

The commission, however, closed its session before Ziobro's arrival and voted for his temporary arrest, creating a procedural controversy. By afternoon, media focus shifted to the commission's tactical failure, with multiple perspectives on whether Ziobro had orchestrated the events.

Evening coverage turned to international developments as Trump announced new tariffs against EU, Mexico, and Canada. Reports emerged about unprecedented Russian tank losses in Ukraine, while concerns grew about accelerated implementation of EU migration pact.

Katastrofa nad Potomakiem to koszmar, który czeka na wyjaśnienie. Jednym z wątków jest to, że wojskowy pilot śmigłowca Black Hawk używał tzw. gogli noktowizyjnych. Urządzenie ma pomagać w ciemności, ale nie ułatwia pilotażu. Trzeba z nim dużo ćwiczyć, choć niekoniecznie w pobliżu lotnisk.
