2 very different candidates all but could shake up politics. And the story of how our group in indonesia is help people hang with children recover from months at sea. And a lifeline to half a 1000000 children in syria has been cut the u. N. Security Council Compromise means only one Border Crossing with turkey will remain open the deal was made after russia backed by china pushed to shut down a 2nd one diplomatic at the jane space reports from un headquarters in new york a Security Council resolution on delivery of aid into syria is finally passed the result of the voting is as follows 12 votes in favor. No votes against and 3 abstentions but this was not what 13 out of 15 Council Members wanted only one Border Crossing bubble how one can now be used to deliver aid off to china and russia use their veto power in recent days to block other options so this resolution is not what the United States and a majority of the council fought for and it is certainly far short of what the Syrian People need and discern Russias Deputy ambassador was competent that the hypocrisy and double standards of our western colleagues at the ins unprecedented tice you were in the negotiations they were ready to jeopardise growth by the mechanism but the delete messages on unilateral sanctions and increasing growth crossland deliveries that received this reply that if dimitrius concerned about hypocrisy he probably should not use the words that he matter tonight humanitarian aid should not be politicized because that is exactly what russia has done throughout this process and shamefully continues to do the bubble salaam crossing that will now close was a lifeline for about half a 1000000 children in the area according to unicef a fact seized upon by germanys ambassador these 500000 children will wake up tomorrow morning. And well realize that we have our germany and belgium whove been in charge of trying to negotiate ambassador who is going to city was aware his chinese and russian colleagues were taking instructions from their capitals but he had this message for those in charge telling them that the german ambassador asked are those people who gave the instructions to give instructions to cut off the a top 500000 children. To look into the mirror tomorrow in nearly a decade of conflict in syria repeatedly starvation has been used as a weapon of war and increasingly humanitarian aid has been politicized what weve seen here in the last week may well be another episode in the International Communitys response to the Syrian Crisis that history will judge badly james aljazeera at the United Nations house for matter barbara joins us now live from the studio hashim lets start with the the big headline here there is around 1300000 people who will no longer get aid through bab salaam what will happen to them where will they get food where some of this is going to create massive hurdles obstacles for the International Community and the humanitarian aid agencies because now where they deny it they would have to go through all the way through on the outskirts of and then move to areas like. 3 in and thats where. A syrian activists think about more than a 1000000 civilians trapped on those areas and we have to remind our viewers though those were the people who were victims from. Back in 2016 their biggest concern and they do understand the politics here they know that this is going to be a tactic to further starve the civilians into surrender they would have 2 options stay stay. And therefore or go back to the regime territory but they know that the moment they decide to go back with tally ation will be awaiting them on how she lets make this little clearer perhaps too to the audience so what youre basically saying is now that aid is going to have to come through from along a lot further away yes to all these little enclaves of areas that are not fully under government control and and that process of bringing aid in makes it a lot more vulnerable extremely difficult now for aid agencies and for the turkish government and for the International Community just to give you an idea in the past it was crossed and within a few almost half an hour youre within areas like i was 3 in and. And this would be extremely easy to go to all those areas where you have more than a 1000000 people stranded if you have to travel all the way from a bubble where you will need more logistics more more more more logistics more hours spent on the road and some of those were those are pretty delicate because the government is not pushing forward towards the border area its can easily use its artillery to stop all those convoys to move further towards those areas under the pretext of these are rebel controlled areas therefore we dont trust them this is an extremely delicate situation for the Syrian Refugees now i assume that the assumption is going to be in many circles amongst the opposition if not beyond that this move is basically a move by the backers of the regime in the u. N. To try and help. Forces gain more control this is exactly what they do but they do forget one thing which is basically in 20161415 what happened is that the Syrian Government used the same tactic which is starving populations into surrender they did it in what we saw those unprecedented images of emaciated faces of people driven out of the area. It was so that in her we saw that in a lot of a sulky all those neighborhoods of the capital damascus and we saw that in homs now the biggest concern why this is critical for the Syrian Opposition and for the more than 2000000. 00 Syrian Refugees in all those areas in italy but also. Near the 3 in and by the seller Border Crossing is that now this brings back the same memory if the russians decide that the near future also to choke. It is just going to leave many people stranded hungry thirsty with only 2 options die on the border or surrender its a bleak view but thank you for bringing us that matter barbara in hong kong voter turnout for primary polls held by prodemocracy parties has been higher than expected results will decide candidates to run for Legislative Council elections in september that vote will be the 1st since beijing imposed its new National Security law earlier this month. If your partner is live for us in hong kong so that high voter turnout were talking about being seen how is that being interpreted. Indeed sammy if you ask people who are organizing this campaign they are surprised themselves its far reach far beyond their targets and in fact almost doubled their targets and we still have a few hours good to go before the ballots close its being interpreted mostly the democratic activist us people giving a voice to their discontent or that concerns particularly after that National Security law was imposed upon hong kong less than 2 weeks ago now one of the issues here is that this whole campaign has had so many hurdles even before it could get off the ground with a venues being pulling out in the last minute due to pressure on top of that hong kong is facing an upsurge in corona virus and so i want to put some of these questions to my guest whos here is Geoffrey Andrews hes the 1st ever minority democratic candidate to be running for Legislative Council elections if he gets through in these primaries and i want to ask him jeffrey you know thank you for being with us today i want to ask you youve chosen a very curious time to make your debut particularly with the democratic camp in the back on the back foot and also the fact that the National Security law has been imposed why now well i always ask myself when when then when is the best time of 5 years ago i dont think minorities have much of a say in society i think the social unrest a lot of minorities came out like ourselves we did this fantastic water distribution outside chungking mansions which in hong kong we now call the we connect moment so i thought to myself its time now to be part of this political structure because were not having a voice in this direction hong kong being and you know youre always seeing National Security law National Anthem law hong kongs Education System but then you dont really see if the minorities be part of it forget i think it was expats or vulnerable groups so i told myself its time to force the issue about hong kong as an International City is it truly a diversity of a Diverse Voices so thats why. Im doing but i must say youre coming from a point to disadvantage the area your combat competing against or that your other candidates are far more established than you there are 9 candidates all together in your area can you tell us why this is important why you decided to run in that area particularly because you really are at a disadvantage is a huge disadvantage i mean im running up against heavyweights like claudia moe jimmy showmen sonny john but you know cullen wes is so dynamic its got some shape over the poorest district in hong kong. Actually this time well the primaries will shortlist candidates right because its 9 of us maybe not 9 of us have the full backing of the public and i think this is a good test to show whether you know we are the peoples choice now thats a 2nd disadvantage to me because many minorities dont even know theres a prime reason like wait we only know about september 6th what is this so ive got to do a lot of hard work in the last 2 days saying hey guys i need to get into the to the vote do you vote for me through get through to this so its been really tough so i really have to kind of rely on the local public which also looks an uncomfortable question saying is hong kong really a diversity will they vote for me does this International City mean me in this or just joshua long speaking english or most of you know. I bring in a very unique background a local born for social worker i understand some show i live in took on i live in the 9th floor walkup so thats me you cant take that away from me and i work in chongqing mentioned all right thank you very much Geoffrey Andrews great to speak to you so that geoffrey is the 1st minority to be running in these elections and the for and hong kongs democratic camp in fact for representation and also the 1st minority social worker here in hong kong but the greater point has to be made here is that what this whole exercise is about is trying to get support or consolidate support for the democratic camp so they can get a majority in those elections in september 6th in the Legislative Council the bigger question remains as even if they do manage that will they have any effect given the last weve seen and the reaction weve seen from the government in beijing so very good in fear thanks so much to big of holland there from hong kong.

Into other demands. People in poland are voting in a president ial runoff vote could shake up Political Parties and impact relations with neighbors the office is largely ceremonial but the president can veto parliamentary legislation so no geiger reports. This is a stark choice for voters in poland. And one which will shape its identity in europe and the rest of the world were going to be on mars this is the incumbent crowd pleaser and trade with polands president since 2015 an independent who has the support of the ruling law and Justice Party is seen as a stalwart of the governments message of nationalism and conservatism his backing of only traditional families and opposition to gay marriage adoption has put him at all those with poles and others in the e. U. Who fear hes taking them backwards but his populist agenda has won over many voters i think. He is a good candidate because hes a tried and true man for 5 years we know what he has done and who years and i think you will be the same as in the Previous Term of office. Under total movie that andrea do what he says he tries to carry out even if not everything can be realized at a given time he says hell do it and he does it i trust him as a politician and thats the president i want my andrea do to win the opposition believe they have everything to hope for and ruffle trust the mayor of warsaw is regarded by many as liberal tolerant outward looking and being more closely aligned with the rest of the European Union and independent of the judiciary. Its just ask you when this is a change its happening here will be he will not hes not a part of the current government he thought part of the Current Ruling Party so the situation itself having just a parliament rule. His party by the rule of law and Justice Party and the president from the other side of the political spectrum will bring a sense of dialogue into this country again but lack of consensus and unity among poles was so polarized about how they want poland to be seen has been demonstrated by this election if you look at the votes of those who are in the retirement age. They overwhelmingly vote and these but if you look at the youngest voters very mostly vote for more liberal politicians so it seems that in the next years law and justice would have or would need to change politics because otherwise we would lose support this is being seen as one of the most important elections since the fall of communism in 1989 the result of which is likely to see poland loosen all tighten its ties with its neighbors. Emergency crews in northern russia using explosives to put out nearly 300 fires unusually warm weather has helped fires break out across siberia rather crews are using the explosives to knock down burning trees so they can reach them more easily theyre also seeding clouds a process that helps trigger rainfall more than 3300 square kilometers of land is burning unchecked the United States has recorded another daily high of new code with 19 infections more than 66500 cases were confirmed on saturday meanwhile President Donald Trump has worn a mask publicly for the 1st time since the outbreak began putting in reports from maryland. This is lives than many Health Experts have been hoping and waiting for the u. S. President some need a message to his supporters that its ok to wear a mask for many not doing so is a kind of political statement but before leaving for visit to this Military Hospital he sent a different message with his words when your hospital especially in that particular setting where youre going to do a lot of older people that in some cases just got off the operating table i think its a great degree where i got to have a pretty good bet but i do believe that by the time. Far from the universal endorsement that might make and supporters change their habits in many of the states hardest hit masks are not mandatory and the numbers of people being tested for and dying from the corona virus are climbing quickly in florida another day of record cases but despite the figures disney world reopened there with restrictions on smaller crowds masks are mandated inside the park but not in this state and the republican governor is not promising any changes soon we really believe that you know those in that 65 enough age group are at the increased risk and were continuing to advise them to talk to limit close contact outside the home and to avoid crowds armies with as much as possible in another hard hit state louisiana the democratic governor has closed bars and mandated mess so its become clear to me especially ash after the numbers that we saw yesterday that our current restrictions are not enough the people that weve been making to the people of louisiana to do better abiding by those restrictions and doing better by complying with our mitigation measures just have not produced the results that we had hoped for and the results that we need pretty much across the board the experts all agree the easiest. The cheapest way to make sure the virus doesnt spread out of control to make sure hospitals like the one behind me dont become overwhelmed just to wear a mask but once again the u. S. President is sending a message to his followers with his words that they dont necessarily need to follow the advice of the experts pedicle Hain Al Jazeera maryland thousands of israelis have protested in tel aviv angry over their governments handling of the economic crisis caused by the pandemic demonstrates is say packages have been delayed and insufficient israel read post time restrictions earlier this week after infections increased power to full suit as more from west jerusalem.
