A single Border Crossing into the rebel held north u. S. Warns that puts millions of syrians at risk. Polls have closed in poland which has seen a large turnout for his president ial run off the surveys show the ballot may be decided by a very small margin president n. J. Duda who is backed by the ruling right wing party and the government has campaigned on traditional values and social spending as he seeks a 2nd term his opponent mayor has called ski represents the liberal european opposition he has vowed to reverse the erosion of Democratic Institutions under the current government. And i am joined now by a close of bachmann a sociology professor at the university of war so we understand the president do to has 50. 4 percent what else are you hearing about from exit polls. Well im im actually hearing because we have until 9 oclock in the evening we have fishel the election silence which is threatened is very high fees if its violence and so now the ballot stations are closed now the silence is over today we do see here is that its impossible even based on the basis of its importance to Say Community who is the winner that means they are very very close together and the margin in these kind of exit polls is toward march to reflect the result what is the closeness of the result in a very should say result the early numbers suggest a type of very tight race a hard fought race you know exactly but this is something that you know already for 4 days now since the last ones were published this is exactly the same situation only as the nations at the moment are not based on counts the only things the exit polls that means of people leaving pilots are valid stations and only promises how d they vote. So this is already quite. Uncertain because you know from floor mark you think in recent times the powerful ballot stations and on the other side its also very unreliable because of the very very small hardship you can see. Ok well the numbers that are not quite yet clear and i suppose well have to wait a number of hours thank you Klaus Bachman in warsaw for that insight. And with me now is watch action man city from polish based on what were hearing and i know its early days the numbers are perhaps not at all the fetid of it quite murky. Where is poland going for the next 5 years to have any idea now we cant we cant really say we cant really say trite now what we see on this on this projection of these exit polls result they say that incumbent redo their gets 50. 4 percent and mr rival gets 49. 6 percent but this is only projection there is this margin of 2 points so this my change over the next hours but this result shows us clearly how divided poland is its almost 5054 different candidates having different vision of poland i hope nobody will try to contest the result of the vote. I hope that it will be when all the results are there where the result is official its a clear number but now it is a big division in poland as i said its almost 5050. Were watching something we have been watching some live pictures in the background think the pull them back up while we continue to talk one number that we are pretty sure of is a very high Participation Rate a 68. 9 what does that mean well thats thats a lot for poland and i think it is proof of this of this division of this very Emotional Campaign that we have been observing in in poland. Because of this tight race people knew that every vote its every vote is. Necessary but we also see some 1st results saying that it were the smallest the rural areas which increased the turnout more than the big cities and they voted for and they of course vote for. The incumbent for a conservative president. Ok just so we know the polish president presidency is not exactly as powerful as the what can a polish president do with his powers to change the direction the country. The president and polish political system my block the government this is hes most powerful weapon a president in poland is not as powerful as the president of the United States politically or in or in france but he has more power than for example the federal president in in germany and this most powerful weapon is the veto he my block lowells that the government wants to implement so shall the incumbent remain in office mr duda the government will not have to face these difficulties with a veto if mr just cautiously wins the election that would mean that the government will have Serious Problems implementing the laws and i believe that could even lead in future to the collapse of the government if mr gist of it wins ok thank you for the porch action and see from these polish servers well keep monitoring the results as they connect.
