a sense of what's at stake. well this election is a clash of 2 different systems of values on one hand there are huge conservative parts of the polish society would close with close ties to the catholic church and for that these are voters of the incumbent president conservative the conservative . for them the western liberalism represented by the open and candidate. is a threat for the traditional values. and the liberal mayor of warsaw. poland to be a conduit which is more tolerant more leiber out and 1st of all what he's looking for is. are closer ties to the european union. was fairly popular one point but their popularity has been slipping why is that.

what. they didn't expect this strong opposition candidate an awful just came very late late into this race 1st after the election which was shuttled for may originally was postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic. just put a lot of energy a lot of fresh air into this race and. this was something which incumbent president was not prepared for so he tried to radicalize his language he attacked foreign media for interfering in the polish election campaign he attacked the l g b t community for building what he called an ideology which would undermine the polish of the traditional values. so and that this radicalization mobilized to believe liberal voters who. started to hope that there must be

another term that if for polish politics and is this. his victory and the power of the ruling justice party and would be the 1st major change in polish politics in 5 years monica when can we expect the final result and just how tight is it likely to be. yes this is a very tight race and this is. this election and there are many legal concerns about this election because the postponing of the election was not quite in accordance with the polish constitution. only the fact that the polish people living abroad has only the possibility to make the postal vote. for many experts is being criticized by many experts so there will will be a huge challenge for the election commission to count all the votes and with the

very tight the difference. results are expected we expect. at the earliest tomorrow but probably. got it monica shroud to go with the polish service really appreciate that the u.n. security council has voted to extend humanitarian aid delivery stream millions of syrians who rely on it to survive the council back to a proposal that would use only one authorized crossing point for aid supplies into the country on the turkey syria border aid agencies are warning that the decision to shut down all other access routes will intensify the suffering of thousands of displaced syrians and cost lives the result. follows 12 votes in favor. no votes against. 3 abstentions. resolution submitted by britain and germany

is adopted. a resolution from the united nations security council to resume aid deliveries to war 2 on syria one day after the program had expired but it gave way to russia's unhearing demands only one border crossing from turkey will remain open for the next 12 months a move that will cut a lifeline as western countries describe it for syrians in the country's northwest to be clear today's resolution leaves a bitterly disappointed at the law. and on our border crossings the syrians themselves if i had a voice which tell you that a lot of those crossings is unacceptable and rest the health and welfare of millions of their fellow syrians are those people who gave the instructions to give the instructions to cut off the aid of 500000 children. to look into the mirror to

mark. this a cure or to cancel it was in a deadlock the majority of members argued to the 2 crossing points were essential especially during the coronavirus pandemic but the veto powers russia and china argued that the north west of syria can be reached from within the country. we could have the right to these results much earlier and while most of the crossing is what russia was because he says the very beginning. initially the u.n. aid mission had included access to syria from jordan and iraq those crossing points were cut in january also due to russia and china. earlier i spoke to d.w. correspondent basil reedy in beirut i asked him why the german u.n. ambassador and others expressed disappointment about the compromise. because they were asking for 2 crossing borders border crossings one turkey of course want

to let the 2nd one do a little for 6 months but because due to the russian and chinese vetoes the compromise law for one. border. directly for one year instead of 6 months but the main treat here is that one district one maybe will not give sufficient supply for the. province essentially the projection on their part is people are going to suffer so what else will this decision mean for people on the ground is that essentially it. yes of course this will unfortunately this kind of wars will affect directly and the c.b.d. ends up being the highest prices especially with that with the announcement of the 1st cab it might be. according to some opposition sources talking about the syrian observatory for human rights told me this morning that 11 point across it will not

be sufficient to supply 3000000. and the os will control its turkey and specials that there is too many that of main sufficient supplies and therefore now this may very well be a dynamic situation let's see if the security council gets back on this in weeks to come bezel really thank you so much. thank you taking a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. thousands of bulgarians have protested for a 3rd day in a row they're demanding the resignation of the governments of the government and the country's chief prosecutor prime minister boyko borisov has resisted the call saying the opposition socialists would break the state apart if they are soon power . floods are continuing to batter large stretches of southern china affecting nearly 34000000 people more rain expected in the coming days the chinese government
