Now we turn to some other news because with most of the votes counted polands president ial election shows incumbent on jay duda winning the 1st round with more than 45 percent of the vote but falling short of the absolute majority that he needs to win outright his opponent in the likely runoff vote is warsaws mayor. Kosky who has garnered just over 28 percent of the vote so far now president duda had caused controversy by focusing on what he called the spread of l g b t ideology in 2 additionally catholic countries. Premature celebrations for polands incumbent president at the exit polls put on jaybird ahead it wasnt enough for him to secure an outright win and independent aligned with the ruling Lauren Justice party he was the front runner heading into sundays election it quickly became a clash of values with spirit as conservative campaigned centered on family religion and tradition. I shall be advised by i said yes born that said we have a common strong goal to save poland poland has its dignity and the polish people feel that the state is represented with dignity polands interests come 1st polish affairs come 1st. To the has been accused of using increasingly radical language to appeal to right wing voters his from the phobic rhetoric Truly International criticism he called the promotion of l g b t rights and ideology more harmful than communism. Was put in a crowded field of candidates due to face strong competition from the mayor of warsaw rafa has caused he emerged allies quickly the only joining the race last month. Was the bank then it because we had not thought this results shows that more than 50 percent of the population want change and i want to make it clear to all these citizens i will be your candidate i will be your candidate for change and now to. Keep positioned himself as the one to watch pledging to improve relations with the aid you and support l g b t rights in the catholic country. Your disapproval rating skyrocketed through the corona crisis making sundays results something of a disappointment the 2nd round of voting will be held in 2 weeks time to confirm the countrys leader. And earlier we spoke with monica in the polish capital warsaw shes due to abuse correspondent there and with the runoff vote due in 2 weeks i asked her whether president duda would remain the front runner or whether his challenger could drum up more support in the coming days the challenge or off he has a chance he has a task yes a huge and important task to gain to get to the voters from other liberal candidates so he the difference now between the 2 candidates between. Is more than 17 percent and is still growing so. The chances of the liberal candidates are candidate are not that sure. But it is possible that he will get more than 10 percent of voters before. Before the 2nd round so its. The result of the election is open for the president for the incumbent president andre do that its important to get the fire right vote terrorists and the nationalists so why hes ready to lies in his language which you say oh yes hes radicalizing his language hes attacking people for building a kind of ideology which court in his opinion on their mind the police their National Values so it will be a tight and very interesting race. Now as you have used monica in the polish capital warsaw meantime leaders in the u. K. And the e. U. Are meeting today to resume negotiations for a post frags a trade deal one of the biggest hang ups is the idea of the level Playing Field now the e. U. Does not want its businesses undercut by the u. K. Britain doesnt want to add here to the e. U. Rules think of a football pitch for a fair game it needs to be flat and even or it could disadvantage one side the e. U. Has a similar goal in its present negotiations before it agrees to free trade with the u. K. It wants a promise that britain wont divert from e. U. Standards to make british firms more competitive those standards include environmental regulations Labor Protections and taxes each to a business as costs translating into higher prices should the u. K. For gold such regulations its products and services would be less expensive tipping the trade relationship to its favored trade agreements typically include language about a level Playing Field but here theres disagreement on what that means the u. K. Says it doesnt want to go any further than the e. U. s other recent trade partners like japan canada or south korea brussels wants a more rigorous adherence to its own regulations it says trade volumes between the 2 nations are so high that even a small difference between the economies would be modified and that could tilt the field to favor one side. And lets get more now on those ongoing braggs that negotiations i am joined by our correspondent mass who is standing by for us in london bear were looking at months of negotiations walk us through the main Sticking Points right now. Well as youve just replaying in the report the level Playing Field is one of the main Sticking Points theres also fisheries of mostly access to u. K. Water fishermen and the other way around thats a Sticking Point and then there is also the issue of state 8 which is very controversial so how much is the u. K. And in the future able to support its own businesses for example bail them out in the future crisis those are really 3 main Sticking Points but more generally its about the e. U. Trying to just stabilize its internal market not give the u. K. Too much thought then gives the u. K. Which is this country just outside outside the e. U. Its closest neighbor gives it in a Competitive Edge and can down on the mine and on the cut the e. U. The u. K. On the other hand they want to be free they said they want brags that they want to cut the ties with the European Union they want to be this independent coastal state as the great city is surrounding from Prime Minister bros johnson call it so these are basically 2 positions are quite far away from each other and its how to how do you bring those together its a challenging balance to strike and its one that they want to strike by the end of the year thats ambitious as if it. It isnt bishes on the other hand economically it makes so much sense to have a deal its for example for the u. K. It means that within 1015 years if the u. K. Was to be without a deal it would harm the g. D. P. By by 89 percent so thats really would be enormous loss for the u. K. And also for the European Union it would of course be much better economically to have a deal however were not just talking about the economy were talking about politics breaks it was a political decision in the u. K. And also its politically important for for the e. U. And for the u. K. To in a way to maintain phase and maintain the integrity in this new relationship so this is basically what makes it difficult to come to a conclusion at the moment there have mass in london thank america. Germanys foreign minister has said the frosty relations between berlin and washington are unlikely to thaw even if someone else takes over as us president and november now michael moss said that the relationship has undergone structural changes and in its current form and no longer met the demands of either side the latest bone of contention is President Trumps announcement that he will substantially reduce the number of u. S. Troops stationed in germany in one small town in the Southern State of bavaria that could have serious repercussions. Always there always it was throwing the eggs bar in the small but very in town of gaffney everyone is welcome. Many of the regulars here are u. S. Soldiers from the nearby army base. Here to lay out who has been standing behind this process for 27 years taking care of soldiers when theyre happy and theyre angry and theyre providing a person to those who come here this is more than just a bar and get sure it was more than just its owner. Didnt meet their love for announcing they dont call me by my 1st name they just call me mom you know a lot of them say this is their home away from home sometimes they come here and they might be in low spirits so when i see that i try to talk to them about it this is i cant say theyre like my own children but they come here so often its like my family here here. Its bar named after gibsons late husband himself a g. I. Is a fixture in darfur but. Its a quiet town. Thats home to the Largest Overseas u. S. Army base in the world and to 12000. 00 soldiers and their families talk of u. S. Troop withdrawal goes right to uncertainty the base is the backbone of this otherwise economically weak region it generates some 660000000. 00 euros in revenue a year 60 to 70000000. 00 euros of which is money that the soldiers spend in local stores and restaurants some 3000. 00 civilian jobs for germans are directly tied to the base thats almost half of often the us overall population impossible to replace in a remote region like this one. But dawson was mayor tells me for him economic considerations are only one part of the equation or with the family especially from brazil liberating 75 years of living together with the americans in a small town with 6 and a half 1000 residents. Its always been a nice and friendly relationship and i think it has benefited both nations we hope that it remains that way for the rich with us is a good. American soldiers have shaped often since the end of world war 2. Even he was here back in 1058 i was present he spent a few weeks in crawford and even though it violated the terms of his record deal he played one small concert in a local strip club on this very piano a story theyre proud of here but u. S. Troops dont only enrich coffee where they also get something in return. Over at eds bar krystal is one of the regular soccer with the originally from texas shes been in constant growth for 4 years yes not as military but as a civilian working at the base she believes living here is a unique experience for her and the soldiers alike. But its not just another duty station its ending it chance to experience culture and other culture within the confines of that country a soldier sometimes they dont get to see much other than their work because theres good things that they can see and then theres you know the bad. And i think that coming to germany coming to other countries they do see the good. Lots of good and sometimes thats thats whats needed to prove that it is a bar they hope that no troops will be withdrawn from coffins. Youre convinced it would be a loss not only for the town and its people but for soldiers here as well as. For the well also in germany the black lives Matter Movement tash own a new light on the age old debate of how to deal with the nations colonial past for years there has been a controversy about the socalled african quarter in berlin since the 1990 s. A british nigerian photographer has used his camera to document the area w met up with him and this has. Thorkell important district. Getting off that berlin subway station the african street is like entering the wilderness or at least thats what photographer actually embody action being things the designer wants people to feel. Its the kind of. Cautious on cautious. Misuse of the whole concept of africa but they see it very much as a kind of like a soup which was the original idea of this area and in fact there were plans to build an open ears to hear after the 1st world war with actual people from germanys colonies included in the exhibits alongside the animals those plans never became a reality but the street signs in this district do memorialize germanys colonial past 4 years n. G. O. S have been demanding that these street names be changed as they are a tribute to colonizers who were responsible for the death of thousands of africans being hes hes been painted over a ridge probably blood 2 streets and one square were supposed to be renamed to honor people and terms connected with rebellion against the german colonial power but local residents and right wing politicians went to court to stop this germanys colonial past is still a sensitive issue. I think would be very very important and theyre going to rename them i hope why should actually i was there doing now pull down the statue of all what they could do as well is explain what happened in the past what was the ideas of how we should change now. For 30 years has been documenting how berlins african quarter is changing. The project is part of his current exhibition at the citys marching gropius museum his pictures raise questions without pointing the finger at anybody. All the time im trying to get across to Say Something but i may be up to the viewer to interpret what they want to see as well. So im very much trying to push the boundaries all the time. He knew would it be a snap shots show the. Clicks relations between germany and africa. And they invite the viewer to question their preconceptions. And lets talk more about that we are joined now by christian copy as a historian and cofounder of berlin postcolonial an association that campaigns for quote colonizing berlin welcome to the program and thank you so much for joining us we just saw examples in that report we saw a street sign statues symbols which you know are going arguably might be glorifying germany as colonial past how prevalent is the problem.
