best practices for keeping the virus at bay it's super tuesday in the u.s. presidential campaign and a key task for the democratic front runner bernie sanders we have to california to find out what issues are important to latino voters in america as most populous state. and in israel's 3rd election in under a year benjamin netanyahu claimed victory after taking the lead but his likud party and its allies are still likely to fall short of a parliamentary majority. i'm seeing so much going to thank you for joining us chief executive it was enough underlined is on our way to the border between greece and turkey today where a new chapter in europe's migration crisis is currently unfolding now thousands of refugees have headed to the border region between greece turkey and bulgaria after uncle rosette over the weekend it would no longer stop migrants in its territory
11:02 am
from trying to enter the e.u. but as this next report shows they have ended up in limbo on able to cross into greece and out of options. migrants make their way through fields heading towards the greek border searching for a way to cross to the other side earlier turkish security forces at the official border crossing stopped letting people through those migrants forced to turn back are angry. about let is you know we were shown on t.v. how turkey was citing its borders and told we could go to the e.u. we were expecting compassion but we got the opposite the greeks treated us like animals. the greek military has repeatedly used tear gas to disperse crowds of migrants some responded by throwing stones at the border guards the tension is escalating the turkish president to one says turkey is sticking by its decision. should be a couple or since we opened our gates we've been getting one call after another
11:03 am
they're saying close your borders we say no we've made our decision. many families are now camping out along the every us river on the border several afghans tell us the groups of migrants were driven here for free in buses provided by turkish police and is to. many used rubber boats to make it across to the greek side but their greek soldiers took their money and their mobile phones and brought them back to turkey. also have no idea what the place is doing or what's happening between turkey in europe we don't deserve to be treated like this where people. here on the turkish side of the border anger and frustration is growing one migrant says everyone is aiming a weapon towards europe and using the people here as ammunition our correspondent you leon is following the story for us on the turkish side of the border with greece. can you bring us up to date on what's happening where you are
11:04 am
how the migrants coping with the situation. well it's been 5 days since turkey gave green light to refugees and migrants to leave for the european union and since then thousands have gathered here along the greek a border it's a very long border 200 kilometers long i'm in the tucker village of doire on right now at the river that's the river running along the border and many people are waiting here or they are camping here they're hoping they're still hoping to somehow make it and crawl to the other side you can see the trees that behind me that greece people have set up a makeshift shelter. very many families with children the children are trying to play with whatever they can find but people still tell me it's quite tough for them especially during the nights when it's cold they say they don't have enough to eat not enough to drink even though we saw some volunteers
11:05 am
distributing bread a little yeah and some people many people as we hear have already left the area they are heading back to the towns and cities where they came from here in turkey but these people here right behind me about 100 or 200 people they are determined to stay. a lot of the migrants who have tried to go into greece they have been met with with tear gas water cannon i mean what effect is that having do most people say they want to return oh. well the greek border guards have used measures to keep people away as you said they have been using tear gas quite frequently at the main border crossing not far away from here but that border crossing journalists have been sent away so it's very difficult to tell right now what's the situation like over that they have also used water cannon people now and that's basically the reason people kind of
11:06 am
a went to other areas along the border like this one so they're hoping. to make it across this river but then again once a arrive over that some people here told us people's phones are being taken away and their money and they're being sent back here to takis so whatever way they're trying to find it's dangerous and it's risky and they might end up back here in turkey it's a dramatic situation and the turkish government is now saying that the e.u. should expect millions of migrants coming its way can you tell us more about that. well that's present add on ramping up the pressure on europe. we know what he wants he wants international support for the situation there in it live where his troops are fighting syrian regime troops and he also wants your all to share the burden of posting all of the refugees he says turkey has taken in nearly 4000000 people from syria and there is another 1000000 waiting at the border he says we call and deal
11:07 am
with it anymore so he's now trying his chances he's keeping up the pressure and sees what you're all what the european union will do next. correspondent yulia han reporting from the turkish greek border thank you so much. now finance ministers from the heads of the central banks from the g 7 nations will hold a conference call today to discuss the economic fallout from the coronavirus epidemic the number of infections is on the rise around the globe in the world health organization has said we are in quote on charted territory the total number of infections worldwide is now over $90000.00 over $5000.00 of those cases are in south korea a country with the 2nd highest number of cases after china worldwide more than 3000 patients have died officials in italy the worst hit country in europe say the number of deaths has jumped from 34 to 52 however the number of patients who have recovered from the virus worldwide is over 48000. the streets

no choice but to be open i have commitments and i have back checks to clear i know many others who are in a similar situation who are supposed to take care of our checks and debts if we stay home with. the impact on iran's economy is an extreme case but the o.e.c.d. has slashed its global growth forecasts for d.c. by harper percent to 2.4 percent the worst performance since the 2008 financial crisis. meanwhile the number of new infections is also increasing in germany public health officials are telling people to wash their hands frequently and to avoid a hand shakes but that can be a tough habit to break as the chancellor angela merkel demonstrated at a meeting on monday interior minister jose her waved her off. for scientists they are advising against close contact to reduce the spread of the virus 3 cases of the coronavirus have now been. termed here in berlin and germany
11:10 am
has the 3rd largest number of cases in europe after italy and france. germany and the coronavirus in a big city like berlin the infectious agent might be lurking anywhere invisible to the naked eye but potentially deadly. so far there's no sign of widespread panic here although it's a new one up with you can't protect yourself from it completely but if you follow a few basic rules then hopefully it'll pass you by but still it's worrying me because although it wasn't the stuff to go through because of what i just try to follow hygiene rules and wash my hands i also try to teach this to my pupils that's it really. personally hey if i'm worried about it sure i read the newspapers and listen to the radio you do have to stay on the alert from box and don't think it's good i think it's really being played up ok it is dangerous a few people are getting sick but they've had only mild cases live with the monks
11:11 am
planck institute for human development in berlin risk research or gap answer has some clear advice. and sponsors relax and try to avoid dying in the things you probably will die of thus you do. what insufficiently stuff to us is that would be things such as the ordinary case of flu smoking or people you see on the street in their car who insist on using their smartphone while driving. but. not always behaves rationally especially when it comes to shopping. a few people have started panic buying staples such as canned goods and pasta and especially cleansers and disinfectants. so the shelves might be picked clean. unusual for germany. because on the whole especially in our supermarkets in the
11:12 am
section for hygiene articles where the soap and disinfectants are we've had shortages some items have sold out and it is also called. the constant reports on the radio t.v. and other media play a part where suspected cases and deaths are tallied up for the 3. it creates the impression that it's the biggest problem we have it's not. just a screw. you know it's a little problem this is missed. although the extent of the coronavirus epidemic is hard to assess for now panic won't help. let's get a round of now some other stories making news around the world chile's president has threatened to reimpose a state of emergency as anti-government protests gain momentum violent clashes hit the capital santiago again on monday since october the south american country has seen protests over economic inequality the high cost of living. a volcano on the
11:13 am
indonesian island of java has erupted mt made up a shot a cloud of ash and lava some 6 kilometers into the air and that eruption briefly prompted the closure of a nearby international airport but ya'll adjusts have not raised the alert level for made up pay that's indonesia's most active volcano in israel exit polls indicate that prime minister benjamin netanyahu holds a solid lead over his main rival in monday's parliamentary election but it also appears that his likud party and its allies are likely to fall short of a parliamentary majority official results are expected later today. in some form this is the night of the giant victory. netanyahu is victorious and so exit polls were announced it wasn't clear whether his alliance of parties would get the most votes. his opponent benny gantz leader of the centrist alliance did not concede defeat but he didn't sound that upbeat we saw the lowest campaign in the
11:14 am
history of israel where many lies and slanders were spread against us and me personally they thought i would get frightened they thought i would blink and i'm telling you i did not and i will not. netanyahu supporters were pleasantly surprised. ali said a story like. that but if you think that. it's likely netanyahu will be given a chance to form a coalition for an historic 5th term but it's unclear exactly how he'll break the deadlock this election was called after he tried and failed to get enough support last time around netanyahu campaigned in the shadow of a looming corruption trial which is due to start in 2 weeks his victory to cement his reputation as israel's most durable of politicians. we can speak not to gild woodsy i know he's
11:15 am
a middle east expert with the german institute for international and security fairs and he joins us from tel aviv thank you for joining us here on d w as we've mentioned this is the 3rd election in israel in less than a year so what are the results tell us this time around i mean what is different this time. interesting thing is that the 3 year old according to all of course some would say quietly dividing campaign we are basically. at the starting point where we started from and when you look at the actual results again the largest electoral bloc of the right wing in israel with a little come very close to being short of the necessary 61 minutes before the coalition these are. where we thought of the same result. in a. big look a little different when you look at the context what we didn't have in april 2009 and we have now is the prime minister is as a candidate is about to face brian in 2 weeks and basically faces 3 levels of
11:16 am
indictment on alleged corruption so you can look at the specific vote and the vote of confidence by the majority of the israeli public differently by the robot of the israeli public may be more accurate if goto be different. this is a big part of the israeli public regarding. indictments all together in comparison with what they see achievement by and. the 2nd the 2nd. is the economy is what i think i'd have to say that the not the overall liberal siegal he's really and would be if there are just some days you're going back to the. 4th time in the last year and they're going to drop they did quite a lot of pressure on the body of the mind and find the formula to build a coalition together ok so given all of that context what happens next now.
11:17 am
so really i mean the the major issue right now what point that all arrows are pointing at they've got a couple of them going to be and the lieberman party is the possible time raises the big. deal with this problem with the good the only solution in this case would be the situation where one of those things were basically go against their electoral promises and agree to join a coalition with netanyahu was to get another option and this isn't it was stated by anybody else in the last 24 hours a very. fine what we call the best order from other parties maybe even the body that would allow him to reach the desired. goal focus what you're looking at is basically sort of scenario the unity government of the public pressure they mentioned guns and i think now and this one is a classic the right government that probably wouldn't be in the same policies and israel was the other option is what we see is the hardcore right wing for the government is my goal is to challenge some of the policies especially in regard to
11:18 am
education in relation to centuries ok we'll have to leave it there till more c.n.n. middle east expert joining us from tel aviv thank you so much. to the us now democratic presidential candidate joe biden has gotten a big boost ahead of super tuesday former candidates better work amy club which are and people to judge have all adore spuyten ahead of today's key slate of primaries and primaries and caucuses are both the democrats and republicans nominate their presidential candidates there is little doubt that donald trump will win the republican nomination but joe biden is one of 5 candidates still in the running for the democratic nomination so what is so unique about super tuesday well it is the most important of all primaries because people in 14 different states will be casting their ballots today and under the system the more votes a candidate gets the more delegates they are awarded and the states with the most democratic delegates are up for grabs during super tuesday these are california
11:19 am
with 415 and also texas texas with 228 by the end of super tuesday it should become clear who the democratic presidential nominee will be now california has america's biggest latino population which gives them an important voice and deciding which democrat will run against president donald trump alexander phenomena travel to los angeles to see which issues are energizing latino voters there. a minimum it on the air with a man dog why you have a producer with can tell you k w a latino radio station in los angeles sports not politics is his passion but this tuesday armando assess many latinos just like emo are eager to get out and. are looking for a good leader they're looking for somebody that they're going to give you confidence they're going to gave them. the p.s.
11:20 am
for. their own leaving most of our latinos we leave check to check to paycheck. president donald trump's policies and treachery disturb many that he feels they all are hoping for a candidate who can vote place here. as soon as california moved its primary to super tuesday it was clear latinos would be crucial in choosing the democrats presidential nominee they represent roughly a 3rd of the state's eligible voters and their influence is growing. a rally in downtown los angeles county fornia so push to see speaker price with its $415.00 delegates no wonder the candidates are competing to live their last minutes these are bernie sanders supporters he seems to be the most successful candidate in reaching out to latino voters. i think you just talked to a lot of people that are like did not feel disenfranchised by the. big corporations
11:21 am
and special interests whether it's big oil big pharma the gun industry and are essentially creating our policies with their money and what bernie sanders is doing is trying to get the power away from the big corporations and give it back to the people like us people are struggling right now people are falling into homelessness mean the 1st time in their lives because rents are too high. housing homes guarantee candidate like center centers. and i believe that we need to invest in mass public housing after the rally and taco truck and popular place in the neighborhood we need christian i ran up policy director at the latino community foundation whose goal it is to make sure that every single latino can vote he's hoping for a high turnout on super tuesday not the most have been traumatized living under the top administration you know if you look at the child separation crisis he tried to
