well yes how allies especially of the number of the soldiers who were killed on february 20th that one which was 33 terrified the turkish opposition ellen with the turkish nation as well because there despite the for previous operations like peace bring. all the brands and you break you so the operation the public support for the military presence increased military presence that must say and has been eroded so low and yesterday all political parties fact meetings that they discussed the turkish foreign policy towards syria and the main opposition party along with some others have been very wachler about their critics against president abdullah and his friends but our goal says this should be taken care of because this is a border security issue in both ways 1st the refugee influx because they're 4000000 civilians and. about 1000000 more than 1000000 are living along the

church's border which is a very direct potential threat for turkey if something happens all those people will. look to turkey as the syrian government forces advents from south to the north on the other hand turkey face it turn it withdraws from if the turkey will have to withdraw from other areas where the operations have been conducted based on a threat which is by the u. why p.g. turkey considers y p g as the syria branch of doubt both kurdistan workers party so turkey says it has 2 aspects and the refugee aspect and the terror that what they call terrorism aspects that's why turkey has to be there and turkey has to sort out this problem inside before it reaches its own territory and this is how our don sees it and let me remind you that in the clashes in the best question there outside back of a real which is the main highway town around and 4 in haifa and 4 and 5 is still on

turkey and it's and should just start by letting us know more about what's happening at the border today. well it's clearly not been a good one and i can tell you firsthand what we've seen and then i'll tell you the 2 very different stories we're getting from 2 governments the turkish and the greek governments throughout the day we have heard sound bombs i've seen smoke fire and people coming back refugees coming back from the checkpoint have told us about heavy tear gas we also saw multiple multiple ambulances leaving the scene you could hear sirens for a good half an hour or so a short time ago the governor here in a durn a said one of migrant has been killed and 5 wounded by the greek police the attorney governor is saying that greek police used real and live bullets smoke bombs and tear gas to disperse hundreds of migrants that have been pushed up at the border

here the official of a checkpoint with greece now the greek government is denying this they are saying that no one was killed at the border today and they are not using live rounds we do know this at least one person has been killed since turkey opens its borders last friday in this migration flow continued began a 6 year old syrian boy drowned when his boat capsized off the greek island of lesbos and this is something that a lot of refugees have brought up to us when we've been talking to them they've been referencing this boy they've also been talking about their treatment at the hands of the greek police many of them were able to cross into greece they say once there the police beat them confiscated their phones their money their vital documents and quickly deported them that is in keeping with the greek government policy of rapid deportations they have banned the processing of asylum applications

for them about a month the un refugee agency u.n.h.c.r. says countries must not use excessive. or disproportionate force against migrants and that asylum applications must be processed in quote an orderly manner and human rights watch is expressing concern that under international law that the refugees and migrants rights may be violated if they're not able to file asylum applications ok natasha good name bring us a live update from the greek turkish border thank you very much indeed for that live update and. so other years now in 3 separate attacks in northern afghanistan have killed at least 19 soldiers and police 15 soldiers were killed and can do as province or policeman dies in a 2nd attack there and then the 3rd attack a gunman kidnapped 10 border patrol officers and in southern afghanistan the 1st

was these afghan interim afghan dogs start if they indeed start on march 10th as scheduled so yes increasing attacks all over the country i would say but at the same time none of these attacks are actually breaching d.-a greenman between do you and the taliban by according to that agreement the taliban should refrain from attacking foreign forces joint military. nato afghan bases the highways the government institutions but all the rest is not part of the agreement so that on that side things are going with in itself is still not in discussion even though the u.s. has carried out its 1st airstrike today earlier today and according to the reports we're getting is because some taliban where trying to plant an i.e.d.

along the road now that would breach the agreement if indeed that would have happened. thank you very. i resurgent joe biden and go to wave of momentum to win tanks and 8 healthier states and super tuesday and most important event yes in the democrats' race to the white house but the former u.s. vice president's main vital bernie sanders did well to see a cessna 11 battle for the time across a presidential nomination reynolds reports now from los angeles were 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 a few days ago and this appeared to be boosted even further by the support of 2
