accuses turkey of helping was it describes as terrorists in northwest syria and of turning his back on agreements to reduce fighting. and the w.h.o. warns coronavirus is more deadly than the seasonal flu and appears to be spreading much more quickly outside china within. a resurgent joe biden rose a wave of momentum to win texas and 8 other states on super tuesday the most importance event yet it's in the democrats' race to the white house but the former u.s. vice president's main rival bernie sanders did well to see setting up a one on one battle for the democratic presidential nomination it will take several weeks before all the votes are finalized but we still have a clear view of the results biden is currently in the lead says latest win as we

said is texas he also secured massachusetts the home states of elizabeth warren and minnesota whose state of senator any well he made strong gains in the southern states as well bernie sanders though won the state with the most delegates california also won utah colorado and his home states of vermont's or won't biden has the most delegates so far sanders is not too far behind in 2nd place there followed by elizabeth warren and mike bloomberg while reynolds reports from los angeles. joe biden surged out of the blocks from the very 1st results winning north carolina virginia and alabama in quick succession as the evening wore on he maintained the momentum from his massive victory in south carolina of you days ago and this appeared to be boosted even further by the support of 2 candidates who had dropped out of the rates the endorsements by people who judge

and amy club which are a huge injection of energy into a campaign that it falters at the start or joey got to start reducing your word well maybe over there a guy was. no matter the folks at virginia. worth a larger. bird. share i was. was it sure was shorter was biden also won in texas the 2nd largest state to vote on super tuesday and his a standing victory in massachusetts was a massive setback for elizabeth warren who represents the state in the senate she made clear though her battle is far from over so here's my advice cast of those that will make you proud of all

on them thought from your heart was all on you and very soon you think will make the best president and i was another major loser on the night was michael bloomberg who did not compete in earlier contests his sole victory was in american samoa but he continued to insist he would be the best democratic party candidate to defeat president donald trump and if you are ready to clean out the oval office and get things done i was all on that welcome to bloomberg 2020 baguio on the front runner going into super tuesday stayed in the fight bernie sanders easily won his home state of vermont along with significant victories in colorado and utah most importantly although it will be hours and possibly days

before all votes are in he's the winner in the critical state of california with its huge block of delegates the votes and i tell you with absolute confidence we're going to win that democratic nominee should the all along and where ya go you took the feet the most dangerous president in their history of this country the was. some super tuesday appear to reflect a new focus among democratic party voters in choosing a presidential nominee despite the debate about competing platforms support is being increasingly determined by one single issue who would be the most suitable candidate to defeat donald trump robert oulds al jazeera los angeles. well more coverage of super tuesday later for an hour we want to bring you up to date with the rest of the world news and turkey's defense ministry says 2 of its

soldiers have been killed in syria's province during an attack by government forces recently launched an operation to push back syrian government forces from it live and conceal the joins me live now from the turkey syria border and sin and that's another 2 fatalities 2 more turkish soldiers killed in syria want to tell us about this. well yes it was the overnight casualty number that we received from the defense ministry couple of minutes ago and yesterday there was also one soldier killed along with 9 wounded so i must tell that still the battle for sarah continues between the turkish backed opposition turkish forces and the syrian government forces. and as the time. as it is just the few hours it is just less than

a day left for presents are gone and president putin meeting at the tension on the ground is still there the spite at will for a mutual understanding and solution it seems still both sides turkey and russia have don't have much in common and we can see the reflections on the ground because despite the turkish turkish military is supporting the rebels and everything and the u.s. political support to the turks the syrian government forces are also trying to advantage back to several for now none of the sides seem to be going back on they are current positions this fight and turkey and russia says that this such a great event should be in place russia believes that sochi agreement was signed in that light guys in that time of. and it has to be updated but turkey say's to such a great event shall be evoked as it was at the beginning which means receiving

government forces were crawling back to $4.00 and $5.00 highways almes this happens turkey seems to be in continue to attack the syrian government forces which they have been heavily attacking since february 27th and on that day as you would remember. syria the syrian air forces that tack on the turkish soldiers cost the $33.00 soldiers lives for turkey then turkey launched this operation which the army called this spring shield operation that aims to protect the civilians inside there and so far there is no change on the ground still there is tensions there are still there are clashes after this incident by so rocket we are expecting the opposition also to make a move but of course what is binding will be the told to be an add on and put in tomorrow which is going to bring a stop or halt or maybe

a mutual understanding. for this humanitarian and military situation inside at the case in embassy of the lawyer from the job the goes to thank you very much and deeds will mean more russia's accusing turkey of breaking the agreement to create demilitarized zone in northern syria and helping what it calls terrorists groups in the province instead so he hasn't immediately coleman says on the accusation it does come 24 hours before the turkish president in moscow for talks with blood smear putin's russia have come closer than ever to direct confrontation in syria in the past few days let's get more now from steadfast and she joins me live from moscow and step what can we read in see these accusations from russia at this stage. well of course it's very

significant that these accusations come one day before this very important meeting here in moscow between the flatter me and put in. the one russia has been accusing turkey many times for breaching the agreement that was made in such in 2018 about demilitarizing region russia's also accused turkey of helping these militants that russia calls terrorists but now they have given some more detail they say that that turkish observation post which were the result of these such agreements and now basically manned also by these militants the turkish forces and the militants have merged these holes and they are attacking the neighborhoods and also the russian airbase on a daily basis and also russia says that turkey is breaching international laws by building up a force they call it the mechanic division which basically means it's a very heavily armed division of around 14000 soldiers in the it live region which

according to the russian foreign defense ministry is something the west doesn't know so basically russia is making a point here that these are all such agreements are have completely failed and that erdogan who has been repeatedly saying that he wants to go back to it in such agreement 'd doesn't have to have much hope here in moscow to work to achieve this and that the that he will have to accept a new agreement on torture which it probably will mean a lot less territory for turkey in the it region were given that all these agreements have sealed stars far in the cease fires haven't been respects exactly what can we hope for going into those crucial talks to morrow. that's a very good question of course everyone describes these stocks as very difficult it will be very tough negotiations but it makes it very clear that he doesn't want to

give in too much to erdogan and that other one will be will have to be the one who has to compromise some analysts are predicting that there will be some kind of outcome and maybe even a cease fire and this outcome will be about a stretch of land the so-called safe zone at the turkish syrian border where refugees can be satele for a temporary time period but that's going to be a very small achievement if you look at the of course the risk of increasing tensions between turkey and russia that we have seen over the last week of course we know that putin doesn't really want a war with turkey and that he is really a valid value his relationship with iran very highly but on the other hand there's a lot of pressure also from inside russia itself not to give in too much too early to one and it seems that russia stations is very much running out ok step for us

and everything is all the very latest from moscow thank you very much in deeds will school still to come here and i'll disappear including the trail of destruction powerful tornadoes sweep through the u.s. state of tennessee stay with us. how we got more wet and windy weather pushing into a western year the worst of the weather this time lot is to push in across the bay of biscay at western side of france you can see this weather system which will track its way in the cross that western area of france as we go on through wet and stay just in the northern flank of that we will see some wet weather just running across southern parts of wells' england pushing over towards the low countries but some very strong winds starting to push their way in central areas of this station

a nation what is the cause what is the whole the cost and what is a martyr you need to know the answers of these questions. these answers to learn the vance's is not. through ordinary educational career to know the answers for these questions you can only know it in your heart if you have love your country in your heart. and. if you have the burning desire to die for your country if you have a clear conscious and every single cell of your body will feel this. in my previous speech i have already spent stated that in koran. marches mean weakness. in some places and some in

some places in qur'an it is also mentioned as someone as a good example and 56 times you can see that martyr is mentioned and grant. also it is you to describe people who lost their lives in the path of god of course. is very important in koran and. they say it saves do not call the ones who die for god dead they are alive but you are not aware. this is the holy order and you need to. understand this and to understand as you have to have a very strong faith. profits mohammad in many times many times he stated that all the sins of martyrs will be cleared and they will

have the highest status in heaven and they will be the ones who enter the have been with us this shows this that. the owner of our country to sovereignty and independence of our country the ones who died in for that. especially the ones who lost their lives in the front. during our struggle it confirms us that they haven't died in vain. all the soldiers that we have lost policeman. all the security officers every single public officer. has raised to the status of martyrdom if anyone. is doubting that they have to look for their faith if their faith is strong we have set the marches the hill is not going to be empty to understand that

a martyr. if you pay attention in these types. turn to us and ask what is his business in syria they never say to russia america or european countries they never ask the same question because in their eyes. our struggle is not valuable. there are only problem is can i have some kind of political opportunity over this and can i look sympathetic in the eyes of the imperialists this syria issue is. there. is a very clear. picture of how the 5th column in our country came came to.
