11:02 am
a month following to return anyone who enters the country illegally now many migrants who've attempted to reach the e.u. are camped out in freezing temperatures in the turkish border province of dieudonné some are still hoping to cross into greece while others plan to turn back. unable to cross into the e.u. a group of refugees returns exhausted to this parking lot near the greek turkish border crossing a cars are cool. some haven't eaten all day. they did not expect to be stuck on the turkish side of the border they brought back photos of the front here zone which journalists cannot access one afghan refugee claims the greek police fired tear gas to push them back. their families were there and everybody is panicking everybody is crying kids were in a very difficult condition there's no support for the migrants. they've made
11:03 am
a camp fire to keep warm many here traveled from afghanistan but they don't have protected status in turkey and are hoping to reach the e.u. as soon as possible even though there is no guarantee of asylum there either i do want to be on the view i want to study i want to live in peace here i'm no better off than i was back home no matter where we go people won't let us be. during the day groups of refugees arrive by bus load to a spot just down the road. it's unclear who arranged their transport this area is supposed to be a restricted zone but no turkish border police are here to enforce it. the migrants are attempting to cross the everest river on the other side lies greece. many of those who make it across are pushed back by the greek military. the greek soldiers take everything from you and your family even your food beating
11:04 am
people and sending us back to turkey. those who didn't make it will have to sit tight on the border despite the cold temperatures when the sun comes up they'll try again. so what is the european union's answer to all of this of these marina strauss is standing by for us in brussels hi marina this is a full fledged crisis on the turkish border and greece says this is a european problem so what is the european union going to do. for frontex the european border agency just received a crest by the greek government last night and they have replied on twitter about an hour ago saying that they're looking into it and there that they're i want to help the greek government in the shortest time possible so we see what what we have what will be happening there high representative rel has also launched a statements are a couple of hours ago saying that he wants that you foreign ministers to meet very
11:05 am
soon probably in the beginning of next week that will be also an emergency meeting of the interior minister of the european union and of course there are talks going on all the time rena what about the fact that greece now says that it is temporarily suspending asylum applications which does not conform with european union law and what is the e.u. saying about that well that you could not possibly accept that because as soon as someone arrives at you territory no matter what the reason is if it's someone who arrives for economic reason or for someone who arrives because he or she seeks refuge you has to guarantee an asylum process that is guaranteed by u.s. law and that is also guaranteed by the u.s. and geneva convention so that would be definitely a breach of the law. this comes as there are shocking images of people languishing at the border i mean are you member states ready to take in some of these migrants
11:06 am
. it's actually very likely that. many a member states will will follow a hard line approach when it comes to taking in migrants we've been seeing that in the last couple of years and that won't change now because there are many migrants waiting at the border and that will leave the task and the problem to countries that have you x. total borders live bulgaria like greece like italy the thing is also dead after of the so-called migration crisis we have been seeing in 20152016 the e.u. has promised that it will work on the issue that people try to find a solution but it hasn't through a fight it hasn't found a solution so far for example that e.u. turkey deal was just a preamble or. just solution that they wanted to have for to buy time but they haven't found a solution so far they've also promised that they will find
11:07 am
a solution to speed up asylum proceedings but that hasn't also happened so far my colleague max sunder is on the greek islands at the moment reporting from there and he says that migrants there are living in and help basically marina strauss reporting for us from brussels thank you. now financial markets in asia have mostly steadied out today after a week where the corona virus outbreak triggered huge losses around the world the number of new cases reported by china has dropped sharply but the epidemic is still spreading rapidly in other countries the total number of infections around the world now exceeds $89000.00 people more than $3000.00 have died indonesia and several other countries are reporting the 1st cases officials in italy of the worst hit country in europe said the number of people infected with the virus jumped by 50 percent to nearly 1700.
11:08 am
not a tourist in sight the canals of venice without its famous gone. no sound of fans cheering in milan's football stadium either across italy 5 major matches have been postponed due to the coronavirus. as new infections climb dramatically in europe's worst hit country the italian government is imposing more drastic measures on the checkpoints controlled quarantine areas in some regions and emergency aid has been promised to the sectors hardest hit by the rapid spread of the virus. in france tourists line up outside the world's most visited museum the louvre on sunday in saying they were not allowed in the building off to the museum staff voted to keep its doors shut due to fears of contamination from the flow of tourists. i don't look to see the mona lisa. wayne but unfortunately it's
11:09 am
close so i'm a bit disappoint there the french government has bombed gatherings of more than $5000.00 people closing down trade fairs and large sporting events even though a half marathon in paris was officially called off hundreds of runners defied the ban and ran the full course. you know i'm about to side signed up to take part in the marathon and since i had nothing to do this morning i thought i might as well go and run it was my goal and if i can do it why not we have to stop all this paranoia with what's happening and we have to keep things in perspective it's just as well from what i've said. in recent days the u.s. australia thailand have reported the 1st deaths on their soil but with more than 50 deaths iran has the world's highest toll outside of china the epidemic is impacting businesses and daily life and shaking the country's already struggling economy.
11:10 am
people are panicked a little under stress has led to a drop in sales people have also become more hygiene obsessed and buy less food from bakeries restaurants and caterers. as markets around the globe take a hit some countries a move honorables than others. let's talk about the economic consequences now with there had offers from business i care had as for me last week was pretty bad for the global market what's the picture like today it's a bit better today asian markets have recovered also european markets have opened slightly off the footsies off 2 percent so there was a slaughter last week 5 trillion us dollars have been wiped off the shares that's $5000000000.00 u.s. dollars it's quite unbelievable and it's that is not going to the end of it there's a study out says that if the this pandemic lasts 6 months which is
11:11 am
quite quite likely it will wipe $1.00 trillion dollars off global g.d.p. growth so it is pretty serious even though there's a slight recovery today ok so what are governments and central banks are doing to offset these losses rather just only begun to boot things into motion that's not. so much they can do because it's mainly a supply chain issue that is hitting the. world trade at the moment china is the world's worst workshop that's hardly any big company that does not manufacture something in china gets parts from china raw materials from china so that makes it difficult one striking rather striking examples are your land rover in the u.k. the comic has actually sent employees by plane to china to hand carry pods back to britain because the supply chain is so disrupted and what governments can do of course germany has said it will make money available germany is
11:12 am
a big plus so it is rich enough to do that to help the economy italy's slightly different they have said they put 3600000000 to the side to help the italian companies that are affected by it they really doesn't have that much money anyway so it's slightly different and central banks of course can do something they can make money cheaper they can lower interest rates but since it's a supply side issue and other did month side issue cheap money doesn't really help that much so what you see things going from here well we're going to see more quakes if you will it can only go as quakes. while people stop travelling the airline and airlines. in trouble the oil prices dropping because demand is is low so there's a chain reaction that's that's going on that we're going to have to report on quite a lot in the next couple of months something and you'll be taking a closer look at that coming up on business right after this show get hard alford's
11:13 am
with us thank you. let's get a round of now some other stories making news around the world japan says it is working closely with the u.s. and south korea after north korea fired 2 short range missiles into its eastern sea the launches were the 1st since november and traveled a distance of around 250 kilometers south korea says. it is monitoring for additional missile tests. people to judge has ended his campaign for the u.s. democratic presidential nomination the former mayor of south bend indiana had it is a disappointing performance in south carolina's primary on saturday his decision comes just before super tuesday when 14 states go to the polls in a contest that could produce a clear front runner runner. there were scenes of panic at a shopping mall in the philippines where a man has been shot and wounded and about 30 people taken hostage police say the gunman is a disgruntled security guard heavily armed police have entered the building there manila and they go shaders are trying to end the standoff peacefully. and dozens of
11:14 am
people have been arrested during protests in kazakhstan over the death of an anti-government activist in police custody opposition leaders called the demonstrations after delight i got a deal died last month in a jail cell authorities say he suffered heart failure. voting is underway in israel as the country tries to break through political deadlock center left opposition leader benny gantz cast his vote in an election that polls show is a neck and neck race against conservative prime minister benjamin netanyahu it's the 3rd election within a year the 2 previous 2 votes were inconclusive with neither side winning enough seats to form a government on top of that netanyahu is due to stand trial later this month over a series of corruption scandals. kramer sent us this report from israel. young student activists campaigning for the right wing likud party on the university campus in jerusalem they want to see benjamin or bibi netanyahu from the
11:15 am
next coalition government and the ongoing political stalemate. yes push up your tenure this is a sense that the election is about yes or no to bibi i would like to see the election dealing more with ideological content and political messages but politics is politics and current i'm a very very critical of their party pick out the elections a rerun of benyamin netanyahu versus benny guns and the polls are predicting almost the same outcome as the previous 2 ballots last year. there's also some election fatigue in the air in the last few days before the election the threat of the coronavirus has made more headlines in the israeli media than the upcoming vote. the main issue is that we are going without a government for a year now the country is dysfunctioning the knesset the israeli parliament is out of order nothing works and obviously people wants to put dispirited behind them and
11:16 am
move forward to have a government that will can work for the israeli people to remain prime minister netanyahu needs to win back the so-called magician of israeli politics has made one election pledge after another the enix ation of parts of the west bank based on trump's middle east plan a new settlement housing all to cater to this hardline nationalist voter base. his opponent benny gantz has made netanyahu says indictments and upcoming trial over corruption charges and election issue but also his center left bloc is unlikely to as a clear of the know. enough minutes there is no real winner here we just need bibi to leave and say thank you very much i was a great prime minister i finished my job he can reach an agreement that you cannot be judged on what he has done and he can go home. so do i think whether now is the best person or if no but he is the best man for the job right now in 2020 and i
11:17 am
voted for in the last 2 still made all vote for him again i don't give voting because every vote counts every vote counts what everyone else in this repeated action it remains to be seen whether israelis will see a clear path to a new coalition government after the polls. and let's speak now to gil hoffman he's the chief political correspondent at the jerusalem post newspaper gil thank you for joining us so what are the chances that this election will finally break israel's political deadlock. it's quite unlikely at this point benjamin netanyahu would have to pull off a very impressive victory he would have to get a majority for his right wing block excluding the people in the bloc they don't want to be the prime minister because of his corruption charges there's he's run a very smart campaign i've been following him around i've seen how his grassroots is very motivated but it's would still be extremely difficult it's remarkable that
11:18 am
this is israel's 3rd general election in a year i mean what are voters saying are they fatigue that's entire process are they frustrated. you know i thought they were after the 1st election i wrote on the cover of my newspaper the day of the 2nd election lowest turnout ever expected and i was wrong and the turnout on that of being relatively high it weighed almost 70 percent the turnout went up so while i definitely feel the fatigue of people we could end up having the same 70 percent turnout despite that because people realize that there are very important issues on the line and no matter who wins this election we're going to have a peace process right after the election efforts to solve the israeli palestinian conflict it's very serious what about the fact that the prime minister is about to stand trial on corruption charges i mean how does that affect today's vote. well there are people who would be quite humiliated to have
11:19 am
a prime minister on trial and because of that they won't be voting for netanyahu so that will definitely a factor in how people vote then there are people who consider the the charges against him frivolous or a witch hunt much like the supporters of donald trump were in the united states and they will vote for him anyway and what about benny gantz his chances i mean how has what is his message been to voters. his message is has been to voters that way you can have a former general like him keep the citizens of israel safe and secure while also being clean that it's time to after 10 years in a row 14 years in total that being prime minister to give somebody else a chance and that he's assembled the right team to be able to do it to run the country better and and to put the citizens 1st and not himself. and i just want to throw this forward what happens if after this election it is inconclusive once again what happens then. the problem all along has been
11:20 am
that the politicians have not been lying during the campaign they said i would sit with him i won't sit with her and after the campaign we thought they would break their promises and they didn't know the hope is that they would be such outrage at the prospect of a 4th election that they would break those campaign promises that somebody would finally compromise and give in if they don't we are going to a 4th election and maybe a 5th and maybe a 27th but god forbid. in the jerusalem post chief political correspondent thank you for joining us. pleasure. you're watching d.w. news still to come on our show in the bundesliga light signal helping to catch the gap to leaders firing up to a point but it did not go as planned we'll have all the details. but 1st over the weekend the u.s. and the taliban signed a long negotiated agreement to end the war in afghanistan but it's already run into
11:21 am
trouble afghanistan's president ashraf ghani says his government has not pledged to release thousands of taliban prisoners even though that was part of the deal. these signatures given at a historic summit in qatar its capital doha milestone on afghanistan's road to peace after almost 20 years of war. but that road was always going to be rocky under the deal the afghan government will release thousands of taliban prisoners ahead of talks between afghan factions but afghanistan's president ashraf ghani said his government never agreed to that and it wasn't for the u.s. to decide. now where that would be better you know no commitment has been made for the release of 5000 prisoners. but we have repeatedly said this issue clearly with
11:22 am
the u.s. envoy that's out of my colleagues out and other officials with the mommy this is the legitimate right and self-determination of the people of afghanistan. a request has been made and it can be part of the negotiation but it cannot be a precondition yet the might of the muslims. for many afghans the hope of an end to the violence is tempered by fears for their country's future . with their daddy but you know if the u.s. leaves afghanistan we afghans are worried about a return to the brutal situation that the taliban will stop their attacks again. so we call on the taliban to sign the peace deal with the afghan government as soon as possible that i'm inside just about. women and girls especially suffered severe repression under taliban rule. kabul veterinarian tough is worried about the threat to women's progress if the group we gain strength through talks with the government
11:23 am
. i don't feel very optimistic because i don't know who will come to power if there's peace with the taliban. looking at their history i feel less hopeful that i'll be able to continue my work if there is peace with the taliban the war will come tar. it's now a waiting game to see how talks between different afghan groups play out following saturday's deal. like reside people here hope they won't have to pay for peace with their freedom. to sports now and in the bundesliga rb lights take lost ground in the title chase after a one all draw at home to buyer leverkusen leipsic remain 2nd in the table but they're now 3 points behind leaders fired munich. white 6 days believe it's their year to win the title and they were pumped up for this top of the table question with laver cousy. guy have it soon company had the better momentum
