A poll that could shake up politics. And the story of how our group in indonesia is helping bring the children recover from months at sea. Aid groups say theyre deeply concerned over restrictions on the flow of aid into syria the Un Security Council agreed on friday to a compromise that leaves only one Border Crossing with turkey open it was an aid lifeline to half a 1000000 children are diplomatic at the james bays 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 of. 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 deserve Russias Deputy ambassador was competent that the hypocrisy and double standard so far western colleagues at deans unprecedented tice you were in the negotiations they were ready to jeopardise growth by the mechanism but to delete messages on you know lateral sanctions and increasing growth crossland deliveries that received this reply that if dimitrius concerned about hypocrisy he probably should not use the words that human or tonight humanitarian aid should not be politicized because that is exactly what russia has done throughout this process and shamefully continues to do the bab al salam crossing the no clothes also a lifeline for about half a 1000000 children in the area according to unicef a fact seized upon by germanys ambassador and these 500000 children will wake up tomorrow morning. And well realize that we have let them down our germany and belgium have been in charge of trying to negotiate and bastard the whole is going city was aware his chinese and russian colleagues were taking instructions from their capitals but he had this message for those in charge tell them that the german ambassador asked are those people who gave the instructions to give instructions to cut off the aid of 500000 children if they are ready 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. Is not the 1st time the number of aid routes in syria has been cut in 2014 the Un Security Council originally authorized aid to flow through 4 Border Crossings to from turkey one from iraq one from jordan in january this year opposition from russia and china forced the routes through iraq in jordan to be dropped the turkish crossings were allowed to continue for another 6 months now once again at the insistence of russia and china thats been reduced to a single point and how are. Drives us now live in the hashim what will happen to 1300000 people who will no longer be getting a through babis alarm half a 1000000 of them kids this is going to create huge problems for the civilians and for the International Aid agencies. Remember in february when i was on the Border Covering the Syrian Government offensive to take over those particular areas on the outskirts of and also live because of that issue about the Border Crossing 2000000 people were stranded people were hungry were facing a temperature dropping below 0 and they were waiting for aid and aid took quite some time to arrive because of that particular problem about why should it go from now the civilians will be denied another Border Crossing which is baba salem which means that all the aid has to go all the way through babel who are which is all the border with the with the province of then move east words towards us and 3 events where you have almost more than a 1000000 civilian the civilians stranded on in those areas its going to be a mammoth task for the civilians for the Syrian Opposition and for the international community. Now lets explain this there are a lot of enclaves around aleppo which become very vulnerable to or a much more stretched supply route now right absolutely and this explains why this decision by the russians and by the veto by the russians are by the chinese is a is political in certain ways because it means that in the near future of the Syrian Government and the Syrian Government has been adamant about the fact that it will eventually move to words they ask us of the province of it which is the last remaining stronghold or the Syrian Opposition if he decides to go to those areas what happens is that you would have more than 2500000 civilians who will try to move all the way towards the border with turkey because they have nowhere to go number 2 you wont be able to send immediate aid to all those areas because for the convoys to travel from bubble where all the way towards the the kurds of for example they will be exposed because some many of the hills over there are taken over by the syrian army which has placed its artillery in those areas so it will be extremely difficult 1st of all for the aid agencies to go there it would be difficult for the civilians to move to those areas because they dont trust the government they say that if we move to those areas it means. Surrendering to the Syrian Government and they fear retaliation this is something which is definitely going to pose massive pressure on the Syrian Opposition which is trying somehow in a way over the last few months to further reorganize itself and brace for the final push by the Syrian Government by a russian backed by russia to take over the last remaining posts to get over by the Syrian OppositionSyrian Opposition right now and there must be really concerned even though about how remains kind of a message about how vulnerable even that one could be indeed those who are more traumatized by this decision which is to confine all the operation. Is the syrian civilians because what people sometimes. It is that the hundreds or thousands of civilians who are trapped in those areas near. What people bridge in italy from aleppo from homs and from the from from a lot of those who were forced by the Syrian Government to leave those areas after years and years of. Do remember 2014 and 15 we saw those shocking images of civilians initiated faces how they havent had access to food and water for months and months it was the same tactic by the Syrian Government to put to push the Syrian Opposition away from those areas now people think that this is a similar tactic basically when you choke those Border Crossings is that in the near future the civilians will have 2 options basically which is surrender and they fear surrender because it comes along with retaliation stay on those borders which means possible death or of thanks so much.

People in poland are voting in a president ial runoff that could shake up Political Parties and the facts relations with neighbors the office is largely ceremonial but the president can veto legislation from Parliament Sunday gager reports this is a stark choice for voters in poland one which will shape its identity in europe and the rest of the world because of it you must. 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 feel 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. And to go to a 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 of ski the male 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 he will be he will not hes not a part of the current government hes not part of the Current Ruling Party so the situation itself having just a parliament ruled by the this 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 for underage and these but if you look at the youngest voters very most. Sleeve 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 so new i ever.
