this is david hughes live from berlin the u.n. security council agrees on a new lifeline for syria humanitarian aid deliveries will pass through a single border crossing into the rebel held north the u.s. warns that puts millions of syrians at risk. and the close vote is expected as poland chooses a president populist incumbent and jay duda faces a tough challenge from more saws pro european mayor.

spicer welcome to the program aid agencies are warning that millions of civilians are at risk in northwest syria because of a decision by the un the security council voted to extend relief deliveries for another year but only through one authorized crossing point on the border with turkey millions rely on the aid and relief workers say the humanitarian situation will now worsen the results of the voting is as follows. 12 votes in favor. no votes against and 3 abstentions. resolution submitted by religion 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 and healing demands. of the 2 functioning neurons 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 western country said even pushed to reopen a border crossing from iraq. to be clear today's resolution leaves us bitterly disappointed at the law. and all our border crossings the syrian themselves i had a voice will 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 given instructions to cut off the aid of 500000 children. to look into the mirror.

the security council was in a deadlock the majority of members argued that 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 rights for these results much earlier. ones most important to cross into evil that is what socialist 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. and for more on this we're joined from beirut our correspondent and child for her and she what will this decision mean for the people who rely on that aid what i think what it means is that a 1000000 syrian civilians who are internally displaced are not who get the aid that they were actually there one of the not serious of war ravaged economy privacy

had nominated. to the u.s. dollar the 4th to be not rising to $3000.00 the u.s. dollar now there are more jobs people don't have food to eat so. if the start that they get anybody international agencies the best meals again aid sent by international aid agencies they're not going to be getting back now all of 1000000 syrians who are displaced internally including by our. children so what are they going to eat when i think we do open around the city this is what the regime monsters what russia and china want as well and we have to remember that this is happening at a time when the when i ask this is are from the region you are describing it particularly dire situation of the world has known about it for you know a number of months and years in fact why did russia and china only want to

authorize one crossing point for the a deliveries do we know why. well you know that being that i think that the well the closing of all of these openings in general will be the close one from thing that was from a dog sitting on the lawn jordan to syria and not the maddest to struck down another one. to the to the we took that exercise now. they're doing it because a divided city in sovereignty but actually isn't is russia and china trying to juggle not a systematic of the us cannot impose sanctions all the city and regime and make it difficult for that ally bashar al assad to survive economically while they continue to send aid and as. the syrians who are against us of the product of a month or supportive of the rebels continue to what they're trying to say that

they do think that we need to act the united nations security council as leverage member russia and china are waiting for that aid either waiting to cash in when sitting in reconstruction began with the u.s. have the sympathy for cesar act which just sanctioned entities ghostbuster on assad is also affecting anyone in any way that is groups the fault of the regime and the rest was ok thank you so much in beirut for us. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. 4 people have been killed in protests in the mali and capital bamako clashes erupted as demonstrators called for the resignation of president abraham boubacar cape town the opposition rejected concessions by kate he announced he was dissolving the constitutional court in an attempt to calm the addressed. hundreds of thousands of hong kong residents have turned out to choose candidates for pro-democracy parties

differently the incumbent mr do the stands for a very conservative and traditional poland he strongly opposes old these liberal and progressive intellectual streams coming from the west for example during his presidential campaign he has attacked the community heavily. the incumbent and the party which supports him the national conservative law and justice party they also have well out say very controversial approach towards the rule of law in poland which created some tensions serious tension section of the european union mr rival on the other hand he is for more progressive and liberal poland he says poland should be open for everybody and he is definitely the candidate who would try to ease those tensions with the european

union he would like poland to be more. integrated and more active member of the of the european community. i'm just looking at my computer and turn out seems to be quite quite high what does that mean is that. significant well i believe this turnaround is. further proof for deep divisions and polarization in this society this presidential campaign has been very very emotional but what's really interesting is where did this increase this turnout increase take place was it in the cities where mr ski supporters live or was it in the rural areas because there are the voters of mr mr do that so this may have some big influence on the final result and the mayor or some church i was not in the race and may you know he could be pawns that's how that will happen well if he if he wins this election he may be the most unexpected president of poland in there since there
