was is increasingly marginalized egypt on the island on al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. hello i'm still robin you're watching the al-jazeera news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes greece says it's blocked thousands of refugees and migrants from crossing the border with turkey. also a potential stumbling block to peace in afghanistan president ashraf ghani says he won't release prisoners as a precondition to talks with the taliban also we just run and we run. a huge boost for joe biden's big to be president the democratic candidate enjoys an emphatic victory in south carolina. and joining us you're

a skier with the sport so with $145.00 days until take your host the olympics the japanese kept talking about scale down marathon with just $200.00 runners in an effort to halt the spread of coronavirus. welcome to the news greece is stepping up security at its border with turkey where thousands of refugees and migrants are continuing to gather local media is reporting that 10000 people have been prevented from entering over the past 24 hours now the surge in numbers follows turkey's decision to open its borders to europe greek police say more than 500 refugees and migrants also arrived on the greek islands closest to turkey on sunday most of them landing on less boss or we have correspondents across those developments saying both greece and. turkey in

a few moments we'll hear from john psaropoulos who's on lens possible 1st and speak to national attention again then who's in on turkey's side of the border with greece i mean obviously a fast moving story in terms of the way that these migrants are moving natasha but what are you seeing and hearing from them. migrants are on the move but we're seeing and intermittent trickle that's how i would describe it we're certainly not seeing thousands of people if you look behind me there's a road and that will lead to the checkpoint with turkey and greece we've seen groups of people maybe in i'd say 10121012 proceeding since we arrived several hours ago but not hundreds of people and certainly not thousands of people arriving the turkish interior ministry is saying that more than 76000 people have

left turkey via the northwest border with greece and ball garia since it opted to open its borders on friday the people we're speaking to say they're not convinced of those numbers simply because it's been quite difficult for them to proceed any further then beyond the turkish border of course there are various entry points the checkpoint is a bit difficult for certain but there are entry points smugglers are involved and people are paying we've heard reports of up to thousands of dollars for them to be taken various routes that include land the river and the a.g.c. some people have also been here for a couple of days now i spoke to an afghan man who spent the night in the woods freezing with no food he says he arrived here on saturday hoping that he would be able to cross the border instead he faced a tear gas he complained that there were no international organization organizations to assist there are teams of humanitarian workers here on the ground

now distributing food but it's unclear what happens next because certainly at this checkpoint on the road behind me there doesn't appear to be any movement with the greek police saying that it has thwarted the attempts of thousands of people trying to cross natasha you've been there for a few days now and obviously it's still a middle of winter to europe and conditions that as you've just touched on cannot be any easier for young and old i mean what sort of condition have you seen people lay in you also just mentioned one of the gunmen but there are young people that you won't let. when we arrived this morning i have to say the scene for me was pretty heartbreaking i saw children a raft in blankets and crying those who are old enough to walk i describe it as kind of sleepwalking it's what children do when they're exhausted lots of families and children and yes imagine being stuck out in the elements overnight the

international organization for migration says that was the situation for more than $13000.00 people bear in mind that here in a dern day the temperature dropped below freezing so again you're dealing with a very difficult situation and that is why we're starting to see that picture shift a little bit i've spoken to a few people who are now turning back i spoke to a nigerian man who is quite angry he says turkey is using us we just want to improve our lives i'm unable to go any further so i'm going back to istanbul there are taxis here that are ferrying people to a bus stop so that they can head back to istanbul we also saw people negotiating individually with taxi drivers to take them directly back to the city will continue to monitor the situation with you the only turkey growing sport in the chester thank you let's cross over now to jonesboro police who joins me from the greek island of less balls and of course slowly by guns have been arriving that over the

past 48 hours john what are you seeing and hearing certainly from where you are. well we do have a rival's today that are above the ordinary for the 1st time 72 hours since the turkish president made his threat to open the floodgates to europe one of those arrivals is here behind me there's a rubber dinghy that's now been parked in the shallows here you may be able to see it 74 people arrived on this boat mostly afghans some of them have already been taken away to be recorded and identified. these 7 arrivals in the a.g. and so forth 5 of them here on this island of lesbos amount to about 360 people at 1st count there's a coast guard figures in there rough still and more boats possibly expected today but it isn't the deluge that was threatened and that is feared however these are still significant numbers of people they add to the already $22000.00 strong

backlog of asylum applications that have to be processed here on lesbos and we spent the last 24 hours looking at the practical problems and the humanitarian problems of that backlog here. a single boat load of refugees is escorted to the shores of less force high winds have likely prevented many others from crossing but they are forecast to die down and more boats are expected to come all who arrive and up here in moria camp there are 22000 people here 7 times what it was built for and many have to find space among the olive groves most are from afghanistan they've escaped war and death but many say they haven't found life here there are no formal schools so 14 year old for operates his family stand selling fruit and vegetables is morea good not good.

red. home maybe a small maybe that people here have little to do but wait for their asylum applications to be decided upon and their wait has just become much longer a new asylum law took effect at the beginning of the year that fast tracks new applications so the trajectory applicants can be sent back to turkey as quickly as they arrive but that discriminates against people like these who arrived as a family 5 months ago we had in 2 years the smart. 26 to me and they did it but they don't take it to you they see you only take in tales from the people. and you have until 10 months in exile turkey agreed to take back your attorneys in a 2016 statement signed with the european union and the greek government says it plans to return at least 10000 people this year but whether turkey will all of that

agreement in the current political climate is an open question so the greek government's entire refugee strategy now hangs in the balance many local people say they have little faith in this new policy for you. owns one of the olive groves next to moria. year ago the refugees were chopping limbs of trees to cook with but we can still harvest a few olives this year was a bumper crop but we couldn't pick a single olive my land was burned twice then they pitched a few tens onto the burned patch and soon after the land just filled up with tents . the government is using lesbos as a holding area but many greeks fear that if turkish president had a chapter you threaten flood of refugees becomes a reality the european union could try and use their country as a buffer zone for the rest of the continent. now we have spoken

with many of the people who arrived both here and at a separate arrival near the airport about an hour and a half south of here near the town of mytilene e. and it's clear from our interviews with these people that these arrivals are the result of the turkish government trying to push them further west some of these people have paid money days or weeks ago to come here but 2 people that i spoke to at least said they weren't asked for any money they were simply told to get in the boat and go it's fine one man from sierra leone said he was walking along the beach he saw a boat load of people being prepared and he just joined in and another man from congo told me he was in church this morning with his wife and a turkish smuggler came into the church and said would you like to go there's a boat leaving very shortly he asked how much money the turkish mugler said nothing just go so indications clearly that the smugglers are being co-opted. in

a public effort to put pressure on europe to weaponize if you like these refugees but it's questionable what's in it for the smugglers because they are a private sector interest so it's not clear where the money is coming from also it isn't clear exactly how the greek authorities are preventing entries that see that there's a statement made by the migration minister this morning on greek television part from the 10000 entries attempted entries prevented at the land border he said there were also naval crossings that were prevented by the heloc coast guard and navy it is very difficult to prevent a boat crossing so there is an open question there also what the tactics are being used at sea or the moment because we will continue to monitor events with you john on the island of lesbos thanks very much. let's move to our other top story and that is deal that was signed between the u.s. and the afghan taliban may have already hit a major stumbling block afghanistan's president assured garney says the government

did not commit to releasing 5000 taliban prisoners and it cannot be a precondition for talks with the group a prisoner swap was part of the accord signed in qatar here on saturday the agreement is meant to pave the way for the withdrawal of all american and nato troops from afghanistan and a long lasting peace though there are estimated to be $10000.00 taliban prisoners being held in afghanistan the group says some of them aren't actually combatants at all what are the media is our correspondent for us in kabul and joins us now i mean the incas hardly dried on the agreement. harder and the spanner really has been thrown into the works by the afghan president. yes absolutely a complete turnaround also from what he said yesterday during the joint declaration when he was standing flanked by the u.s. defense secretary mark esper and the nato secretary general where he was basically

saying that this was a good day for afghanistan and then this morning another press conference in which i was 7 and he says well hold on we did not sign that deal we did not commit to release any prisoner and that should not be a precondition for anything basically talking about the interim afghan negotiations that should start on march 10th could be delayed simply because of what we heard this morning about the president making the clear that this has nothing to do with him and certainly he would not going to be pressured in doing that now joining me is there would sultanzoy is a former presidential candidate among others that would thank you very much for joining me now what do you how can you read what do do the collaboration's of the president are 71 days saying this is a good day for afghanistan the other day saying well we have nothing to do with this deal and we will be pressured well actually when you talk about 5000 prisoners it is not

a turn key thing to release them in. these are different cases these are all people who have to go through a certain just lead of legal. other processes the laws of the country the regions office our system the terms a system they all have to be involved in this and also afterwards even after their release there's a process because the accountability of the aftermath of the release is also something that needs to be discussed so it's a long process in. washington may be very eager to fulfill a certain type of timetable the afghan timetable. here in kabul and washington's timetable may not match but the actual thing is that it should be a realistic expectation that we should learn to live with that i guess the question is also why did the president say that she day and we we've known that detail it's

one of the leaks that came out to the media a few weeks ago do this prisoner swap so why today the day after yesterday was of course yesterday everybody was talking about the principle of the agreement in principle every everything is agreed to but when you come to the practice of the process the process is not as. i wish it was saw so summarized as the agreement itself the process is as the name implies it's a process and it takes time and therefore as the president was reflecting that the expectation should be where it should be because the in trafton talks if they begin begin based on these conditions and these things will take longer and the as i said earlier the expectation and the timetable of washington in kabul or not. at this in

this thing well and also before that could actually happen day is the issue of the integration of ash ever need that was supposed to be last week after pressure from the u.s. it was postponed to march 9th but still that nothing is really set in stone here in kabul u.s. envoy. is supposed to arrive in the coming hours or in the coming days he did say that his priority was to put together at the legation to go to does intra afghan talk and to make sure that the process. of the prisoner swap is respected those are good to be very difficult tasks for. many say that maybe this is the more difficult part is yet to start indeed hoda abdel-hamid our correspondent karl thank you. well plenty more ahead here on the al-jazeera news hour including it's back to the polls again for voters in israel as prime minister

benjamin netanyahu tries for a 3rd time to form a majority government and the race for the wall the bald spot in tennis is only between a winning pair of players are coming up with joe in schools. now the u.s. has tightened travel restrictions for countries most affected by coronavirus after recording its 1st death from the infection president donald trump called for calm after confirming a man died in washington state the u.s. is banning all travel to iran and blocking entry to any foreign citizens who visited iran in the past 2 weeks is also issued do not travel warnings to parts of italy and south korea trump is considering closing the border with mexico despite the southern neighbor having only 4 confirmed cases additional cases in the united states are likely but healthy individuals should be able to fully recover.

and we think there will be statement that we can make with great surety that we've gotten from e.u. with this problem they should be able to recover should they contract a virus so healthy people if you're healthy. you will probably. go through a process and you'll be fine. and jordan reports the 1st death in the u.s. raises questions about how coronavirus is being transmitted. we don't know how this person was infected but washington state officials did say that the man who was in his fifty's did have preexisting health conditions and infectious disease experts say those are the people who are most at risk of contracting the virus and having an adverse effect from it from becoming very very sick or possibly dying from

coronavirus for everyone else people who are generally considered healthy they might develop worst a bad cold or a moderate cold but their immune systems are supposedly strong enough to withstand the virus now we don't know anything more about where this man had been before he was exposed to the virus and that is something which infectious disease experts are now trying to determine they're particularly concerned because there have been at least 3 or 4 counties it's now on the u.s. west coast where there wasn't any prior travel to a country where the disease has infected hundreds of people notably china or south korea or italy those are the 3 countries that have the largest numbers of cases right now. and elderly man the 1st australian to die of coronavirus of the he got sick on the diamond princess cruise ship the 78 year old evacuated from the ship to

a hospital in perth where he died the man's wife is also being treated for the virus one of 25 people in quarantine and a 35 year old man has died from the virus in thailand the man was already in hospital after being admitted with dengue fever in late january time health authorities are looking into the case of to be initially tested negative for the virus the global death toll now stands at almost $3000.00. the u.s. though joe biden has won the south carolina democratic primaries securing almost half of the votes with bernie sanders coming in a distant 2nd with about 20 percent by this victory bank of him the momentum he needs going into super tuesday when people in 14 states head to the polls and the teleports. he spent weeks fighting to keep his campaign alive but on saturday former vice president joe biden was back in the race a few months ago victory in south carolina was

a foregone conclusion but both bernie sanders and billionaire tom steyer made inroads that threaten biden's bid for the democratic ticket now though joe biden's campaign is alive and kicking thank you thank you thank you south carolina. was our thanks to all of your heart of the democratic primary we just won and we won big because it was biden's victory ends bernie sanders winning streak after he emerged as the front runner in the 1st 3 contests the senator from vermont finished 2nd and he's now looking to super tuesday when 14 states in american samoa hold their primaries they'll account for a 3rd of the delegates a potentially game changing day in u.s. politics tonight we did not win in south carolina. it will not be the only defeat there are a lot of states in this country nobody wins them all joe biden downplayed his early

losses instead focusing on more diverse state his campaign received a crucial endorsement when congressman james clyburn the most powerful democratic politician in south carolina endorsed him just 3 days before the vote that seal of approval may have pushed undecided african-american voters a crucial voting bloc here to back biden let's get back to our. all right right here people we can't believe again one of the time this problem we're proud of this president so get our take back our country this is the united states of america there's nothing beyond our capacity if we do it together elizabeth warren and pete but a judge trial the park with disappointing results joe biden's referred to south carolina and its large population of black democratic voters as his fire wall and its held steadfast for a campaign now renewed to say this was

a. understatement. states in the democratic primaries is giving the former vice president the kind of legitimacy and. now they may have found it. columbia south carolina. obama's win in south carolina was in last part due to his support amongst black voters the role of america's jewish community now take center stage at a major conference in washington d.c. it's an event where many high profile politicians assault support but senator bernie sanders who is jewish and self says he won't attend and explains. every year the american israel public affairs committee for a pack a huge conference in the nation's capital almost $20000.00 people in an audience highly polished production on stage the focus always the speakers many of whom are washington's most powerful politicians are in both democratic and republican

trouble they show up and it shows a pac is a political force and there will be powerful democrats there with one notable exception i am very proud to be jewish and look forward to being the 1st jewish president there was democratic presidential front runner senator bernie sanders is not only refusing to go he's slamming the. organization on twitter writing i remain concerned about the platform apac provides for leaders who express bigotry and oppose basic palestinian rights apec responded tweeting back in part that it was quote in a raid just comment about what they labeled a mainstream bipartisan event but american university professor guise of believe support for israel in the us is becoming a partisan issue and it's on yahoo has a big role to play here because he in 2012 invited mitt romney during the

presidential election to israel and hosted him as a way to endorse him over obama a few years later in 2015 in march that comes here and delivers that speech to a joint session of congress in which he tried to. scuttle the iran nuclear deal which was the president's signature foreign policy achievement and to some it seems even more so now given the close ties between the current republican president donald trump and prime minister benjamin netanyahu. the divide was on full display with this television ad bernie's a great guy but he just can't run by a group of prominent democratic supporters of israel openly campaigning against sanders who could become the 1st jewish nominee for a major party the at stuff when he became the front runner and it's who he appeals to the could be the greatest concern over the long term he's garner in the most support among young people who are well aware of this issue and his concerns

although needing epstein editor in chief of moment magazine a publication focused on american jews says that fear of turning young people could be overblown i see a lot of young people are very interested in war and then don't forget there are a lot of conservative young people and i see a lot of people talking about young people talking about. i see them talking about bloomberg most analysts say over the long term if apec is going to keep. the kind of influence it needs to have bipartisan support trying to strike a balance this year with elections looming in both countries will be more of a challenge than ever before paddy calling al-jazeera washington. now the promise of swift anticorruption measures has helped push slovakia's center right opposition to victory in parliamentary elections the ordinary people group security around a quarter of the votes enough to beat the ruling center left party which is controlled vacuum politics for more than a decade the murder of a journalist who was looking into widespread corruption dominated much of the

discussion leading up to the election. well it's time for the weather has rob been more stormy weather in europe rob is still jorge yes you're quite right and at the center of jorge is in the same place just about over scotland but the energy has been dispersed over a good part of the old man increasingly central europe so that's how the system looks the most multiple centers of low pressure the holes in the atmosphere and then the frontal system which changes the air and carries the rain in the snow with it has expanded further but here is the u.k. and 1st of all there was hit by it and the winds were quite strong gusts of 100120 kilometers per hour so clean the coastal areas got hit one bit of amused if you like if you found out the water this much you tend to get foam from it this is just sea water it just looks like washing up liquid substance of the thing the winds are strong along the west coast as well now you see very little in the way of clothes of clyde although the heart of love is still there and rain has been of course the

enduring problem with flooding from west to east north to south now for the rest of the day still very windy there's more snow to fall in the hills not to last as a warning or warnings but the warnings in scotland last into tomorrow as well but the bigger picture is we're changing the weather throughout europe start mom she's going to be windy and wet in many places 1st of all look at this amount of wet snow . northern italy and the alps and the rain with it and is just moving slowly eastwards so. thanks so much rob well still ahead here on al-jazeera we'll have more on the new illegal israeli settlement that will bring misery to palestinians in occupied east jerusalem. and in india more children live on the streets than any other country in the world is education is the 1st step to breaking the cycle of poverty. and bizarre scenes in the german football game as top teams stop playing because of an offensive banner in the crowd that's coming up with joe in sport.

a precondition for talks with the group a prisoner swap was part of the accord sided qatar and certain. joe biden the secured lymphatic when the south carolina democratic primary with bernie sanders a distant 2nd. by is hoping to win and can boost his campaign ahead of the upcoming super tuesday primaries. israel is gearing up for its 3rd election of the year but there are fears that monday's vote will end in another inconclusive result the country has been run by an interim administration without powers to really passive nikken legislation or even a budget the main rival to the incumbent prime minister benjamin netanyahu is the blue and white parties benny gantz hari for citizen west jerusalem and this place really hairy many israelis might be hoping for a clear a political direction and hoping that really it it is 3rd time lucky when it comes

to the election. yes. indeed i think most israelis just one this ongoing grinding electoral might manage to finally come to some kind of conclusion that has been interesting in the last week or so we've seen benjamin netanyahu for the 1st time in a while his likud party taking even a narrow lead in the opinion polls but still those polls not showing enough of a decisive margin either way to get to the magic number and these are the problem in the knesset 61 required seats required to form a coalition government i'm joined by a bit of client list. michel barak mitchell where are we in the political horse race at the moment any prospect that netanyahu might get over the line this time well there's a saying in a row we've been in this movie before and we've actually been in this movie twice before in a year so you know it's not clear what is interesting about this election as opposed to last 2 is right before the election netanyahu looks like he's leading

which may not be the best place for him he likes to scare people that he's going to lose he's losing the election if they don't get out and vote now they have a different tactic because they seem to be leading in the polls that they have some momentum going and now they're fighting for people that either will stay home because they think his victory is assured or they'll vote for one of the smaller parties in the block because they believe he's he's going to be the prime minister he has the best chance anyway his his main rival benny gantz as well as being marginally behind in the last few days has suffered a bit of a blow to in the last couple of days extraordinary seeming dirty tricks tactics with one of his advisors having what he thought was a personal conversation with a rabbi who turned out to be recording that conversation in which this adviser said some pretty uncomplimentary things about benny gantz now it's all got out i mean is this going to move things do you think i don't i think that people that have already decided they want to vote for benny gantz are much more focused on getting

rid of netanya oh so you know why. there are guns is up for the job a lot of them are not convinced that he's really up for the job but under the circumstance of being a decade of rule by nuts and you know a decade as prime minister where he's just about to start a trial and he just can't form a government the last 2 times a day one change so it's not going to put too much of a chink in his armor it will have some effect because any type of negative is there but it is seen as coming from the it's and you know dirty camps trick. as for the the the situation off of the polls we've been in this twice before when my the side has had the majority not knows how to be able to assemble a majority coalition could we be looking at that again this time and if so does that mean a full flexion well probably a 3rd of the country believes that we're actually going to go to a 4th election i was maybe i'm not the right guy to ask because i don't think we're going to go to a 3rd election i thought the members of knesset would act responsibly i think that at this point that even if there's

a deadlock now we'll actually see movement between the parties now will actually see a break away and if there's still a deadlock then the one thing i would say is the soup people least likely to be prime minister in that situation is spend your minutes an hour and benny guns in maybe that a 3rd candidate from either of the main parties or the mable main blocs has to come forward to unite in some kind of national unity temporary government for a year until both parties can get their act together but i don't see a scenario going to the 4th election but i didn't see the 3rd one either but i think that members of knesset are realize that they are at the end of their rope here people don't have patience and the country the economy the budget can't keep functioning in this election mode ok well thanks for nominal and we wait to see exactly how things pan out the polls open on monday morning and we'll get some indication of the results late monday night thanks very much of course we'll continue to follow all of the events with you and see that full the election. well

the vote will be the 1st since the announcement of the u.s. has proposed middle east peace plan that ibrahim finds out how the election could impact palestinians. we sam coerced ms apartment overlooks israel separation wall but he says this view could get worse the israeli housing ministry has started the process to approve 9000 new houses they form part of a new illegal israeli settlement that would cut off the east jerusalem neighborhoods north of the wall from those to its west that would prevent the development of the most central metropolis in any future palestinian state it's our shot of us all of us is a lot in which i bought this apartment because there was some sort of an open air view and not a cramped neighborhood but if the open space is gone i'll be forced to leave i also expect violent clashes if the settlement is built if approved the settlement would be built on this empty land in east jerusalem it fell under israeli occupation in

1967 and used to be an airport until violence in the year 2000 that its closure now the areas isolated from its surrounding by the israeli separation wall but a new settlement could mean the demolition of nearby buildings including the one where we sam leaves the u.s. mideast peace plan proposed by president donald trump in january so just this area would be a part of a future palestinian state palestinians rejected the plan saying it doesn't meet the minimum requirements for statehood and takes away an additional 30 percent of their lands under the plan illegal israeli settlements will stay in place in the weeks leading up to elections israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been announcing more units in israeli settlements in the occupied west bank including east jerusalem both netanyahu and his rival benny gantz have promised to annex israeli settlements. scholars say israeli politicians are trying to appeal to voters who are shifting increasingly to their right the 2nd with the map was this

competition between blue and white party headed by benny gantz and the likud party by netanyahu one side small while incidents palestinians members of can sparty are not providing an alternative to netanyahu but they're trying to be more radical than him when it comes to the palestinians and the arabs. with the u.s. and israel having the closest relations ever palestinian officials say they're pushing european countries to recognize the palestinians the president's feel lonely and alone in such a fight since everybody is there to please trump and everybody is there to please not and you know and obviously in the hype of these so-called normalization that arab countries are committing themselves to palestinians feel desperate for support palestinians say israeli plans on the ground including settlement expansions have been advancing for decades but what is wrong divil actions the main contenders rush

to make new announcements that end up stripping palestinians of more lands and making their dream of statehood even more difficult is that a male jazeera yorkey a pied west bank more than your scene has been sworn in as malaysia's prime minister by the king that follows a week of political cayle sparked by the resignation of the veteran leader mahathir mohamad but he says the move is illegal and is calling for an urgent session of parliament saying his allies have a majority to be reports a changing of the guard to malaysia that critics are calling the death of democracy waiting yasin swearing in his prime minister capping achieve this week in the country's politics. the king announced my appointment on saturday in a move that sidelined formally. whose ruling coalition collapsed last week mad to resign this premier after his bizarre tea party which is led by me signaled it could work with the united malays national organization. that party government for
