Left many in this key sector fearing for their lives. And the court of arbitration for sport has overturned Manchester Citys 2 year ban from european football this means the english team can take part in next seasons Champions League is the integrity of u. S. 1st financial fair play policy coming on the even more scrutiny. As welcome to the program polish president andre jute has narrowly secured a 2nd 5 year term in Office Following sundays president ial elections with nearly all the votes counted the conservative accumbens has won with 51. 2 percent over his rival the liberal mayor of the capital city of warsaw just cost him the result is a victory for polands ruling National Conservative law and. This party its avoided scenario in which an opposition president would be able to veto legislation approved and. So what does this result mean for poland thats a question i asked our correspondent monica she writes in was. This result of the victory of the incumbent president. Means that the National Conservative government of the law and Justice Party will be allowed to continue its reforms which have been heavily criticised by the european union. President used to. Put his signature under every bill passed by the parliamentary majority and thats something he will probably. Continue the coming 5 years so there are critics on the judicial reform of the Justice Party on the strong grip on the public media and. Situations in the country so probably what we will see probably in the coming 55 years in the continuity of this course and some critics say is that poland is moving towards an auto retiree on state. It was a rather narrow result as far as we know now it was 51. 2 percent what about his opponent. Is he likely to challenge this result. Now its clear that he has been. Confirmed by the Election Commission and its very its very. Its almost impossible not to imagine the. Opposition candidates he could challenge or protest against this results but there are legal seriously guard concerns about. Illegalities. Elections because this election was. Originally for may and it was postponed because of the current i respond to me and this postponing was not quite in accordance with the polish constitution and thats why there might be many protests and only the fact that the polish people abroad some polish. Didnt get the necessary. Voting documents on time its already. Its already a reason for protests and. So there are talking about that they had no ability to vote. Thank you very much. Food supplies for millions of people in Northern Syria could be at risk thats according to International Aid groups say a decision by the Un Security Council to authorize only one crossing point for supplies via turkey is creating too high level of dependency on ankara the un decision caps a week of negotiations with russia and china overriding warnings from aid organizations. Showdown at the Un Security Council syrias back on russia with the help of china forced through a compromise that none of the other members had wanted only the battle how a crossing point on the turkish Syrian Border will remain open aid organizations now fear that around half a 1000000 children will no longer have access to foreign aid while tensions run high at the Security Council the German Foreign minister also criticized russia and china as. We have always agreed that humanitarian aid should be accessible regardless of political and military conflicts russia and china have now revoked this consensus this is very cynical. Russia wants its ally Bashar Al Assad to decide what happens inside his country and he receives the aid without any foreign interference this issue should not be politicized so what we have today our discussions today is not about humanitarian deliveries to syria we also want this oh discussion is about politics if dimitrius concerned about hypocrisy he probably should not use the words that he merits and i humanitarian aid should not be politicized because that is exactly what russia has done throughout this process and shamefully continues to do a disappointing result for the u. N. And the people of syria. Town of a quick look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today has announced its expecting to high up to 10 and a half 1000 employees to fill shifts at its 1st factory in europe which is being built near berlin we come in a factor of plans to have 3 shifts a day after opening next year.

Since the mandela the daughter of former South African president until part hard leader Nelson Mandela has died in johannesburg she has been south africas ambassador to denmark since 2015 because of her death has not been announced she was 59. So the african president s are on opposing has reimposed a ban on alcohol sales and announce the return of a National Curfew south africas facing a rapid increase in coronavirus cases of the loosening what have been one of the worlds strictest lockdowns Health Officials are warning of impending shortages of beds and oxygen as case loads climb from said the restrictions on alcohol would be it would free up beds in hospitals for covert 900. 00 patients with now decided that the sale the dispensing and the distribution of alcohol will be suspended with immediate effect. There is now clear evidence that the resumption of alcohol savings has resulted in substantial pressure being put on hospitals including trauma and i. C. U. Units due to Motor Vehicle accidents violence as well as related to told me that alcohol induced joining me now from cape town is did of your correspondent ali and what else is included in these measures. Well the big talking point here in south africa is of course the alcohol ban at the moment because its the 2nd already south africa installed one already at the early stages of the lockdown then after every president from the industry they just fly and its to relax its to reintroduce i go again and now the hospitals have been complaining about the massive increase of patients we have that 17000 stations that midgets through trauma hospital its per week during the last weeks which is of course a massive number but then also on the minutemen on spike through around the place of quite softly introduced at night if you enter not a very controversial thing its also yet allowed to text you that many of us and i are responsible for a lot you know public transport here to operate locally and 100 percent something that has been heavily criticized already by if you develop just to see that as a very very risky. South africa has become one of the worlds hot spots for cold 19 a do you think these new measures are going to how. Well i mean certainly they will help to clear the hospitals to some extent spots of course the Health Sector still trace this massive massive challenge as we see a massive like off census care units like some feel theres a massive lack of tests kept presidency at the moment its almost impossible to get tested on lists you are older than 55 yes or you have comorbidities otherwise Public Institutions will just not carry out a test for you so that means official numbers that were seeing of cases are probably much much lower then the reality at the moment well be that as in my south africa at the moment accounts for 40 percent of all confront cases in africa the other african countries are getting right. Well its tough tough to say because we actually dont really know the numbers in the other african countries testing that d in most countries and definitely ways to know it so its difficult to say how bad the situation is there so why is there d and then people mainly attribute tribute to the fact that south africa has these i mean numbers point that while the african countries number one is the climate sea at the moment south africa is facing winter conditions you can see behind me its raining and signs suggest that this is the time when most of the people are getting sick and the riskiest time for the corona Virus Outbreak the 2nd bob is that south africa is the only industrialized country in Subsaharan Africa that means in the early stages of the outbreak you had a lot of foreigners tourists as well as businesspeople carrying the virus into the country many more than in other african countries and thats thats the situation whereby the spread of the virus was much faster than in other countries on the continent. And i have to thank you time now for a look at some of the other developments in the coronavirus pandemic deaths in mexico from the corona virus have now exceeded 35000 only the u. S.

Of more on that lets cross to seoul and our correspondent Frank Smith Frank why is this funeral so controversial well its going to be a 5 day funeral a 5 Day Memorial Service for the former deceased mayor now there is that online petition that you mentioned also another conservative group tried to have an injunction put in place to prevent this 5 day funeral from taking place its a soul city fuel in the position suggested and conservatives have suggested that it would be more appropriate given the nature of his death and the allegations against him that there be a much more subdued 3 days sort of family funeral instead so what about the man himself so as more of the ones. Well hes a former human rights lawyer he actually represented women that were trying to sue the japanese government for reparations for being. In slaves sexually during the japanese colonial period here in south korea hes also was was head of south koreas largest n. G. O. S for several years and lets remember he said 3 term mayor he was reelected twice and hes also been put forward as a strong candidate for the presidency of south korea will be a president ial election in 2022 so what does this controversy the controversy around him and his this tell us about south korea today well if we assume that.

The mayor of tucson resigned earlier this year amid Sexual Assault allegations a governor in south korea a year and a half ago was given a 3 and a half year sentence for rape and Sexual Assault of his former secretary and the big news today there was this afternoon when representatives of the former secretary came forward and said that they wanted to see you know her protected by the law and she initially wanted to see an apology from the mayor and even express some remorse she had allegedly been abused by the mayor in this way with messages and inappropriate contact for Something Like 4 years and she also called for a probe and some Counter Measures so that this doesnt continue to happen in south korea has been the front smith in seoul thank you frank. But here in Europe Foreign Affairs ministers of the you are meeting in person in brussels for the 1st time in months since march every meeting has been held Via Video Conference because of the coronavirus pandemic the ministers have a full agenda focusing on tense relations with turkey migration policy and divisions over how to respond to chinas increasing assertiveness beijing recently imposed a sweeping new security law in hong kong which critics say undermines freedoms in the territory governments around the world have condemned the law and some have gone even further. And position thank you case Boris Johnson offered permanent residency visas to up to 3000000 hong kong citizens australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison suspended an extradition agreement with hong kong and plan to extend visas for the territories residents. Germanys government on the other hand is treading softly its response to hong kongs new security law is being criticized from different sides of the political spectrum while the expressing concern for chinas influence in hong kong chancellor Angela Merkel repeatedly called for an open dialogue with china and reinforce the countrys role as an important partner but even members of merkels Government Coalition said her stance towards china needs to change. You need to consider china for what it actually is its a trade partner its an economic and technological competitor but it is above all also a systemic competitor that has a completely different model of governance for the state and for society and merkel must incorporate these important factors into her china policy you know. The s. P. D. Along with the opposition greens and free democrats is also calling for the government to make it easier for hong kong citizens to resettle in germany in 2018 to hong kong activists were granted asylum the 2 young men. Were facing charges of rioting at home it was the 1st apparent case of germany granting protection to hong kong prodemocracy campaigners the Free Democratic party is pushing for the government to make it easier for hong kong theres a find refuge in germany after my comedy we have called upon the federal government to examine to what extent they can facilitate entry and possibly also residents permits and even asylum. Myka said no specific measures are planned to facilitate the relocation of hong kong or suggest many the with the new security law in place a growing number of people may want to leave hong kong upping the pressure for the German Government to take action now. Hundreds of International Tourists have been partying on the Spanish Island of new york without masks and ignoring the social distancing rules in force due to the Global Pandemic German Health minister again spanners the situation is concerning he warned that the tourist behaviorists undoing the progress made so far to contain the spread of the bios and urged german holidaymakers to stay vigilant in the area islands announced 15 fines for those organizing illegal parties or flouting rules on social distancing and face masks. Over more of this lets bring in kate brady kate it sounds like the German Health minister and senior public Health Officials around him are quite concerned about the wrist some tourism. They certainly are concerned the School Holidays are in full swing here in germany now and as we know thousands of people have headed abroad especially to that popular holiday destination the island of mayorga and so one of the biggest concerns is not only for the health of the people who have been seeing as you say flouting those there is recommended distances social distancing rules and the wearing of masks while theyre still on holiday so only their health that race but also on their return both the risk put to other people on their return flights and also when they get back here to germany and as a German Health minister again sponsored himself the last thing they want is for the island of new yorker to become the next issue which of course is that ski resort in austria which became a hotspot for cave in 19 and help free to spread the pandemic across the virus sorry across europe what did and his experts say about the why the grown the situation right now here in germany. Well germany still certainly has a strong grip on the pandemic the has certainly been flattened there are just over well just in the 6000. 00 active cases of quoted 19 at the moment bringing the total of cases so far to just under 200000 just over 1000 people have sadly lost their lives as well to covert 19 but relatively speaking as German Authorities and Public Health institute have said time and time again germany has had a relative success when it comes to handling the pandemic which is even more so they could the reason why the Health Minister now is calling on vacation as holiday makers to be extra vigilant to make sure that this success is not undone.

I mean almost. There are no anything. My financial situation is very bad. Here and split its only the ferries that are leaving this year visitor numbers have plummeted in a country where tourism accounts for a 5th of the economic output its a disaster people who do make it here have a very different experience from usual. Things have gotten cheap i can stand or tells that i otherwise couldnt afford. Personally i enjoy the peace and quiet but i feel sorry for the croatians who dont make money. When things are tough some turn to their 5th further Martens Church services now draw the same numbers as they did before the coronavirus and a place like split for so many livelihoods have been affected by the pandemic many are seeking solace in religion solidarity it seems is on the rise. In just a dozen or more the people appreciate your thoughts and words. It makes them feel less scared. Mind you boy.

Football news now Manchester Citys 2 year european ban has been overturned following an appeal that is according to the court of arbitration for sport the premier league club was sanctioned in february for quote serious breaches of the us as financial regulations the clubs to the queues of overstating sponsorship revenue in order to offset heavy transfers spending an initial 30000000 euro fine has been reduced to 10 the 2 year ban from us for competitions has been overturned entirely. And joining us now for more on the stories Ed Mccambridge from our sports big news for 4 months to city what were the accusations and how do we get to this stage 4 stories like this can get very confusing they get out so i try to make it nice and clear for our viewers back in february announce that Manchester City had full of serious breaches to financial regulations between 2012 and 26 they know chief among their accusations was that man city had disguised equity funds as sponsorship contributions essentially they were cooking the books. Now following that 2 year ban and the initial 30000000. 00 euro fine Manchester City city naturally said they would appeal the decision they said it was pretty judicial it was a flawed investigation process and they also said that some of the key evidence was obtained illegally by hackers now we obviously saw the results of that appeal today and weve obviously seen it everything but 10000000 euros has been wiped from the record but the result that weve seen today i were you surprised by this what in the world of sports what are the general reaction i dont think anybody will be surprised by this whatsoever this is the latest in a very damning line of punishments that your wife has sanctioned against clubs just to be wiped away from the court of arbitration for sport this happens in Manchester City quite in the past already p.
