At 8.41am on that fateful Saturday 10 April 2010, the Polish Air Force Tupolev 154M crashed in dense fog while coming into land at Smolensk-Severny airport.

The tragic irony of the accident was that the delegation was going to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Katyn massacre, which saw the Soviet secret police, the NKVD, execute upwards of 20,000 Poles, mostly military officers and members of the intelligentsia.

But five years after the crash, where has Poland come? In the studio are guests David McQuaid, Warsaw Bureau Chief at Bloomberg, and Nate Espino, Analyst at Lacrosse Media Monitoring.
