let's go straight to warsaw monica. polish bureau good morning to you monica we're now hearing that we have some near final results and that they show that the incumbent has won is that the case well and what would that mean for poll. but these are not the official results yet but we have the certainty if it's is for sure the incumbent president. will remain in his office for the next 5 years and it means for poland for the government. and justice party. very comfortable and secure and. it can continue its reforms which have been heavily criticized by the european union if you can this thing in its grip on the need to stay the institutions or on the cards on the public media and critics say

that poland is moving towards. a county and state this is been a very very close race a very divisive election campaign on both sides as well what about ralph of to call ski is he likely to challenge the result to ask for a recount. and there are many legal dolls about these elections and the election was originally planned for my and it was postponed for have i respond to me but not quite the in accordance with the polish constitution so there are many constitutional experts who are talking about. you have had. about religion it is said this and there are also probably just from my people from the from polish people whole didn't get all the necessary documents on time and were not able to vote and these are only

examples. i don't think that. himself. protest against the results but that is what he will do and he is talking about the victory as well not the victorious president of course but he will he he says he said the one say away we want fall asleep again it means that he will mobilize the liberal opposition to this election the strong power. which are the heart of polish people. to what is his victory there is he that he could you need to unify unite this these people around his person and he will. provide. these people to support him for the next before the. head of the next the president parliamentary elections in 3 years in 3 years because i so much for that from

warsaw. food supplies for millions of people in northern syria could be at risk that's according to international aid groups are saying a decision by the un security council to authorize only one crossing point for supplies via turkey is creating too high a level of dependency on ankara the u.n. decision caps a week of tough negotiations with russia and china overriding warnings from aid organizations. showdown at the u.n. security council syria's back a russia with the help of china forced through a compromise that none of the other members had wanted only the babble how a crossing point on the turkish syrian border will remain open aid organizations now fear that around half a 1000000 children will no longer have access to foreign aid while tensions run high at the security council the german foreign minister also criticized russia and china has got in mind. we have always agreed that humanitarian aid should be

accessible regardless of political and military conflicts russia and china have now revoked this consensus this is very cynical 3 years russia wants its ally bashar al assad to decide what happens inside his country and who receives the aid without any foreign interference these issues should not be politicized so what we have to the discussions today is not about humanitarian deliveries to syria we also want this oh discussion is about politics if you need serious concern about hypocrisy he probably should not use the words that he matters in a humanitarian a should not be politicized because that is exactly what russia has done throughout this process and shamefully continues to do a disappointing result for the u.n. and the people of syria. a funeral services been held for the marrow of south korea's capital seoul amidst controversy more than half a 1000000 people signed an online petition opposing the publicly funded ceremony

which was also streamed online parklane soon was found dead on a mountainside friday an apparent suicide that was days after his former secretary filed a criminal complaint against him that was reported to involve sexual harassment as mayor of soul park who is one of south korea's most powerful political leaders for more let's go to seoul and correspondent frank smith's good day to you frank could you tell us why this funeral ultimately became so very controversial well it was as you mentioned the circumstances surrounding his death there was debate whether it should be a 3 day sort of more family oriented mourning period in funeral or a 5 day city civil city sponsored funeral there was actually as well as a petition online there was a court injunction sought by a conservative group that was put down by

a judge earlier today or or yesterday centered on that controversy are the allegations that you mention that reports and rumors suggest now involve some so i mean it is appropriate touching as well as perhaps some graphic messages sent by the president to his former secretary there's also concern that that former secretary has been the subject of some abuse online in some measures that are being taken to protect her her or her representative are also scheduled to perhaps make a statement sometime today or later this week ok can you can you tell us more about park one soon what type of politician was he and what kind of role did he play in the country's politics. well he was originally a human rights lawyer and he actually represented women subject to the most horrific sexual abuse including comfort women that were taken

prisoner essentially by the japanese during the colonial period and during. the colonial period and and subject to being forced into prostitution he represented them in seeking compensation from from the japanese government he was also the leader of a large civic organization here the petrus for tory solidarity for people's democracy here and he was the 3rd term mayor he had been reelected twice he was also seen as a very strong candidate for the south korean president see which will be coming up for election here in 2022 and what does all this controversy tell us about south korea right now. well that's a little bit difficult question to answer just yet if we assume that there is. substance to the allegations of sexual improprieties busy and crimes perhaps

of a sexual nature against him then we can say perhaps little is changed here if we go back just a year and a half or 2 years. governor was actually jailed for raping his secretary and for sexual assault he is currently behind bars serving 3 and a half years this is and he junger of 2 interim province so this is not an unprecedented event and certainly south korean politicians and especially the leading group here in south korea are looking inward to see if they can't do more to address gender and balances in south korean society franks with thanks so much for that from seoul . let's get you up to date now on some of the other stories making the news today floods are continuing to batter large stretches of southern china affecting some

34000000 people more rain is expected in the coming days authorities have sent in thousands of troops to help contain record high water levels. thousands of bo bo gary ins have protested for a 3rd day running now they're demanding the resignation of the center right government and the country's chief prosecutor prime minister boyko boris off has rejected the calls saying the opposition socialist would break the nation apart if they assumed power. carmaker tesla has announced it's expecting to hire up to 10 and a half 1000 employees to fill shifts at its 1st ever factory in europe which is being built outside of berlin the car manufacturer plans to have 3 shifts a day after opening next year. saying with the auto sector dialer says it will need to make further job cuts that's on top of the $15000.00

previously announced the german automaker told news agency d.p.a. that it needs to increase cost cutting as demand for its vehicles slumps darren lerch earned leave employees some 300000 people worldwide. get a look at this now with d.w. financial correspondent julie bartz joining us from frankfurt good morning really looking at the situation add dime lower is the pandemic the main force striving call starting right now. i don't think so the pandemic will be over at some time and then what do you do with the jobs that would need to be done if these more than $15000.00 people were to be needed no it's probable that these people are not need to learn needs to save costs drastically in order to have the billions on hand in order to invest in electric mobility and autonomy driving it's in the same

position as other manufacturers here in germany they badly need to make progress and put the head of human resources a timeless said in. interviews over the weekend that they also need to get to competitive production costs and this is basically a word saying that we're doing too much in a too expensive way you know we're seeing the layoffs in a number of other sectors related to the pandemic nonetheless the markets are continuing to remain strong a very upbeat start of the week for european markets for example are investors ignoring the risks of the pandemic. they certainly are i think that they're betting a lot on progress in treating and preventing corona and on the effects of public stimulus and central bank stimulus but what's going to coming into play this week for additional stock market add ons and prices is the expectancy that all those

company reports on the 2nd quarter which will start rolling in now will have lower numbers yes but possibly some positive surprises and that's what investors are acting on a bit hard to understand from our point of view but from the investor's point of view it seems to make sense really will be looking at those pleasant surprises perhaps in the 2nd quarter reports italy thanks very much for that brighter. it's to belarus now where alexander lukashenko has ruled the former soviet republic for more than a quarter of a century now elections have not been free they haven't been fair either since he came to power in 1994 because once again expected to win the next presidential elections coming up on the 9th of august but frustration and disappointment with his rule is growing demonstrators have been taking to the streets of the capital minsk and other cities to protest his handling of the economy and of the pandemic.

for the 1st time in her life and this. has a feeling that change is possible in belarus that's why she's out collecting signatures for opposition politicians in the capital minsk applicants require 100000 signatures to qualify a bit of these life those who are in power now have to be replaced and the direction of our country needs radical change because everything is falling apart here culture education and health care the i meet. in belarus critics of the regime face persecution it takes a lot of courage to talk openly. to a dictatorship it's pure dictatorship or to put it another way laws are ignored one man has the say over what happens in the laws are adjusted accordingly. people are fed up and you can see that in the previous elections there was a lot of apathy most people did not even bother voting because they knew it

wouldn't change anything. in many places it looks like apathy is a thing of the past there was a one kilometer line to vote stretching through minsk recently people waited for hours to support the opposition candidates the president was compared to a cockroach that needed to be squashed by a slipper which has become a symbol of the protests that it was due to president look i shan't go then appeared to give the chief of his security services a new order for the true story i want to warn you and everyone else listening in valorous that they will not be a my dad made the nobility receive a revolution like the one in ukraine is not what anastasia and her fellow campaigners are aiming for they want free and fair elections a peaceful transition of power. but the this is a test for our nation i hope we can get through it and come out stronger and wiser . she was concerned to hear that president has appointed a new prime minister in particular the fact that he is from the military does not

bode well. e.u. foreign ministers are meeting in person in brussels for the 1st time in months they'll have a very full agenda today focusing on tense relations with turkey migration and divisions over how to respond to china's increasing assertiveness since march every meeting has been held by a video conference until today that is because the demick germany's chairing the session on july 1st took over the rotating 6 month presidency of the european council well with germany chairing the talks likes of bring in these political correspondent kate brady kate a china is figuring very prominently at today's talks with critics saying brussels has failed to take a tough line on beijing's draconian security law for hong kong where does germany stand on this. well germany has openly criticized this new security

law and there have been a number of leading figures and politicians in recent weeks who have spoken more openly about this issue as well and even just yesterday the german president. in my ear said that there would be a lasting negative effects on relations between china and western democracies if this new national security law remained in place in hong kong now there had been a lot of hopes riding on the e.u. china conference or so much i say which was supposed to take place here in germany in the eastern city of lights in september that has been postponed coronavirus at least that's the official line that we heard from from officials here in germany and also in brussels so in the meantime heikal mass the german foreign minister has said today he hopes to see some fast progress when it comes to a joint stands when it comes especially to dealing with human rights abuses by

china a lot of people are going to be looking for that today especially because germany has been so reluctant to confront china not only on calm but also on its treatment of china's muslim we are minority as well. exactly and this comes down a lot to trade that germany level and also at the e.u. level that is china's 2nd largest trading partner in the world and so for a long time the economic ties of overshadowed the progress being made in the e.u. when it comes to taking the hard line towards china and its abuses of human rights at the same time the e.u. still grappling at the moment with how to move forward in terms of the 5 g. networks across the entire block now earlier this year. you decided that it wouldn't implement an all out ban on including the chinese telecoms giant huawei in the developments of 5 g. networks here in europe but at the same time there's pressure growing from the u.s.

as well on the european union to indeed follow the u.s. lead and didn't implement strict strict restrictions against the involvement of huawei so once again a year there yet another example of how it's being caught in the crossfire between the u.s. and china and as a reiterating again what we heard from angola machall in the last couple of weeks as well as germany took on the presidency of the european council she saying that there was a need here in europe right now for the whole block to become more self-reliant and take a more independent stronger stance ok was we'll see if we have some more independence coming out of brussels later today perhaps kate thanks so much for now. let's get you up to date now on some of the main pandemic developments deaths in mexico from the crow virus of now exceeded 35000 only the u.s. brazil in the u.k.
