The challenger wants to chart a new calls for poland and repair strained ties with the European Union opinion polls show the 2 candidates nick and nick is poles choose between competing visions for the next 5 years. Conservative versus liberal big city versus country set poland is divided. That challenges a community of 8000 people in central poland most people here work in agriculture in town as a bastion of support for incumbent president and jay do people here say things have gotten better under his presidency if the last one we can do to stay if i have 2 children and i get Child Support during the drought we get 8000 euros that was a great help and theres also more money for the animals thanks but theres theres. Whether those of years on to the opposition candidate refound to scoff ski has also made extravagant Campaign Promises hes courting the youth vote. Not one of those are Ground Program for the 50000 best and most talented young people from towns and villages they can develop their abilities and get a shot at an education from the best schools and universities. Just kosky appeals to people who are disappointed by the incumbent president. So in washington my son just went to holland because his apprenticeship from the point office youre only paid 240 euros a month what kind of salary is that for working 8 hours a day and president who talks about opportunities for young people they only chance is to go abroad thats it why didnt he just. Hundreds of people come out to see and to meet was this mayor in towns like ah george but do does incumbent attract crowds of thousands people who dont want things to change this says fight with the Child Support extra subsidies for pensions and tax cuts hes provided the start that could happen no law that restricts or liquidate such benefits will be signed by me you can be assured of that. Duders confident of victory but it looks to be a tight race just kosky has the lead in liberal cities they do in sundays elections may well be decided by a handful of votes. Well known. From the Police Policy in warsaw earlier we asked why president did his popularity has been slipping in recent months well i. Didnt expect this throng opposition candidate and he came very late late into this race 1st after the election which was settled for may originally was postponed because of the koran and i respond. Will just put a lot of energy a lot of fresh air into this race and. This was something which the incumbent president was not prepared for so he tried to radicalize his language he attacked foreign media for interfering in the polish Election Campaign he attacked the l g b t community for building what he called. The ideology which would undermine the polish traditional values. So that this radicalization mobilized believe liberal voters who. Started to hope that there must be another turn out for polish politics and. That if his victory would and the power monopoly of the ruling Justice Party and would be the 1st major change in polish politics in 5 years. I was want to get there in warsaw ok the u. N.

No votes against and 3 abstentions resolution submitted by belittling and germany is adopted. A resolution from the United NationsSecurity Council to resume aid deliveries towards iran syria one day after the program had expired but it gave way to russia and healing demands of the 2 functioning ones 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 countrys northwest western country said even pushed to reopen a Border Crossing from iraq. To be clear todays resolution leaves us bitterly disappointed at the loss of our fallen and on our Border Crossings the syrians themselves if they 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 to give instructions to cut out the aid of 500000 children. To look into the mirror to mark. This a cure or to cancel it was in a deadlock the majority of members argued to the 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 learned these results much earlier. One most ludicrous is what russia was this is the very beginning. Initially the u. N. Aid mission had included access to syria from jordan and iraq those crossing points were cuts in january also due to russia and china.
