Sailor yannick 1st up and wins a race to sail solo around the globe despite not crossing the finish line 1st we explain what happened. Im sumi so misconducts good to have you with us thousands of protesters have been on the streets in poland for another night after a near total ban on abortion came into effect on wednesday in warsaw some protesters clashed with police and several were arrested the governments ban means terminating pregnancies will only be allowed in cases of rape and incest and if the mothers life is at risk. Was. Was for a 2nd night thousands protested across poland chanting antigovernment slogans. They are demanding a reversal of the abortion law and the resignation of the government. And it was all scuffles with police broke out. And several demonstrators were breast it was. The poll suggests more than half of the population is against the new restrictions. Yet that myanmar from up a body that one cannot deprive women of their rights this is half of the nation all of us often half of the nation is deprived of their rights of the right to make decisions about themselves this is an acceptable to define of polands right wing ultra catholic government has long pushed for tied to abortion laws its supporters say this finally gives protection to unborn children but its not to play it is a sadness there is a very Adequate Police saying that its better to have 10 children on your arm than one on your conscience. And i think thats part of off a lot of feet to protect life. The government might have tried to avoid protests by making these changes during the pen demick with restrictions on crowds gathering. But clearly many poles feel the right to choose is important enough to keep turning out in large numbers. Lets go right to warsaw now journalist michaela. Is standing by for us there hi my diana weve seen another huge wave of protests across poland are these crowds at all likely to change the governments mind here. Well weve already used to those protests as they hold on sunscreen months now and the Court Announced the new league but you know they waited to publish its on till now so its quite a long time which is are not very used in cases like that in my opinion they want to change the locks not for a moment because yesterday in the evening weve heard politicize from the ruling piece party who underlines that there was no other option just to make a decision like that you know they are so strong supported by the church and by the public media so it seems very difficult to think of the change now maybe someday we will see a surprise but nothing on how do the polish people come down on this do they support such severe restrictions. You know we had something clear which was called the abortion compromise our number under socialism time in poland abortion so were quite common and after that the cole so decided to changed it and they have Something Like a compromise here and you know a poll supported the idea only my only to use our into taber costs richter as well as less strict rules after abortions have been as i said quite common for here some now when you see the polls you see maybe 10 or 15 percent of polish people who do. Who are in favor of this new rules but on the streets you see a lot of people as ive heard in your reports now who are opposite and i heard spewing hole into this were a lot of people are really really angry with what happened mostly of course young people who go on the streets now not only connected with those new abortion law but they go on the streets for human rights the own goal in the streets for sri and for courts and of course for a change of the government where does this leave polish women women who might be seeking an abortion what recourse do they have. Thats a good question because you know im actually the for 1st the situation has not so much changed here now because abortions take place either illegally or by forcing women with unwanted pregnancy to go to countries like for example the Czech Republic or engine the new x. So there are only estimates but it is that tens of thousands of women are deciding in that way and you know it was difficult distorted to move also in some very conservative conservative a real ass hole Hospital Personnel publicly say that we want to do it because its our we cannot it was to have a lie on our conscience so it was also difficult before but now its getting and more difficult and on the other side you know the governing parties as. They are underlining the moral dimension and well the courts create clear lead up to the rights to live for every human starts with their conception nothing.
