Ownership
TVP Info is the rolling news channel and news website of Telewizja Polska S.A. (TVP), Poland's public broadcaster, founded in 1952 and operating as a single-shareholder State Treasury company. TVP Info itself launched in 2007. Governance runs through the National Media Council/National Broadcasting Council (KRRiT); following the new Tusk-led coalition government's contested December 2023 reform, the Culture Ministry placed TVP into liquidation and replaced its management to end the prior PiS-era editorial line.
Funding
TVP is financed by a household licence fee set annually by KRRiT, large direct government subsidies (the licence fee chronically under-collects, so state grants have become the main source — e.g. multi-billion-zloty transfers in 2024), plus commercial advertising.
Affiliation & stance
As a state-owned public broadcaster it is classified STATE. Note that its editorial lean is not stable CENTER: from 2016 to late 2023 TVP Info was widely documented as a propaganda arm of the PiS government, and since the December 2023 takeover it has been realigned by the new governing coalition — in both periods it has been closely tied to whichever government controls the state company.

In the tropical Pacific, El Niño conditions have set in, researchers say.
The article reports that researchers from New Zealand’s Earth Sciences organization (ESNZ) have identified conditions consistent with the El Niño climate phenomenon in the tropical Pacific. They warn that impacts on New Zealand’s weather are likely to intensify over the coming months. The ESNZ joined other organizations in Australia, Japan, and the U.S. in confirming the development of El Niño, which is expected to reach strong intensity between July and September. The effects are projected to peak during the Southern Hemisphere summer, spanning late 2023 into early 2024. According to lead researcher Chris Brandolini, this El Niño event is at least comparable in strength to five of the strongest recorded El Niños in modern history. The article outlines regional rainfall expectations, noting potential below-average precipitation in some areas and above-normal levels in others. It also mentions possible temperature fluctuations and increased wind variability later in the year. Additionally, it notes two lower-probability risks: sudden stratospheric warming and the occurrence of a tropical cyclone outside the typical season, both historically linked to El Niño.

Alexander Leo: If something is not in their mind, the prosecution is politicized
The article discusses the controversy surrounding the 'two towers' case, where the prosecutor's office in Warsaw decided to suspend the investigation due to lack of evidence of a criminal act. The case emerged in 2019 and relates to abandoned plans by a company linked to the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party to build two skyscrapers on a plot in Warsaw. Austrian businessman Gerald Birgfellner claims that President Jarosław Kaczyński deceived him during the investment preparations. During a TVN24 show, MP Aleksandra Leo from the Center party criticized the Polish ruling party for selectively judging the prosecutor’s office, stating that if it aligns with their interests, they call it good, but if it doesn’t, they accuse it of being politicized. She pointed out that this politicization occurred under former Minister of Justice Zbigniew Ziobro. In contrast, MP Kazimierz Smoliński from PiS argued that both the current and previous prosecutors made correct decisions, emphasizing that the decision was consistent with past rulings.
Lukashenko is trying to "hide" from Putin.
The article discusses Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko's efforts to reduce his dependence on Russia, particularly after recent tensions with Moscow and Kyiv. It highlights his visit to China shortly after meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin at a closed summit, portraying it as a desperate geopolitical maneuver to secure support while balancing pressures from both sides. The author suggests that Lukashenko seeks to maintain stability within his regime by avoiding direct involvement in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which could threaten domestic order. The article also notes that Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s emphasis on protecting Belarusian sovereignty might serve Beijing’s economic interests, especially given Belarus’s strategic position as a land corridor to the EU. The piece frames Lukashenko’s actions as a test of China’s willingness to provide support amid growing regional instability.

"Such a gift for Santa". There was an announcement about Trzaskowski.
The article discusses plans by organizers to hold a referendum in Warsaw regarding the removal of Rafał Trzaskowski as mayor. Maciej Wilk, president of the association 'Tak dla CPK' and the Polish Development Foundation, stated that collecting over 132,000 valid signatures from Warsaw residents would be a significant organizational challenge. The organizers aim to collect more than 150,000 signatures to account for potential rejections during verification. They plan to start the official collection in late July, preparing volunteers, funding, and materials beforehand. The campaign will primarily take place on the streets, with social media used for mobilization. The referendum could potentially occur around Christmas if the timeline allows. Wilk mentioned that the situation at the Southern Hospital was a catalyst but not the sole reason for the initiative.
