stop migrants in its territory from trying to enter the e.u. but as this next report shows they've ended up in limbo unable 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 crossings 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 idling 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. says turkey is sticking by its decision. should you couple that since we opened our gates we've been getting one call after

another they're saying close your borders we say no we've made our decision. many families are now camping out along the ever us river on the border several afghans tell us the groups of migrants were driven here for free in buses provided by turkish police in istanbul many used rubber boats to make it across to the greek side but there greeks soldiers took their money and their mobile phones and brought them back to turkey but also had no idea what the place of doing or what's happening between turkey in europe we don't deserve to be treated like this with people to. 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 yulia han 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

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 top 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 also 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

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 that you can see 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 there they have also used water cannon people now and that's basically the reason people kind of

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 tar . 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 his troops are fighting syrian regime troops he also 102 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 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 border thank you so much. well the united nations says that since a syrian government offensive began in december almost a 1000000 people have been displaced by the fighting in the country's northwest but for those who are left behind in the war torn region life goes on we hear now from one father who's trying to protect his young daughter from the devastating reality that surrounds. a father filmed himself with his daughter as a bomb exploded nearby. this may look like next level absurdism but have done mohammed with desperate to make danger and despair something to laugh about he wants to protect his daughter salva from fear and trauma as best he can and that's anything but easy the northern syrian province has

been under heavy bombardment for years now. why abdullah has been telling his daughter the bombs are just fireworks. the 3 year old police. reports and i laugh at bombs that can kill people. not because someone has died but because it's my only chance to protect my child being in. the death and destruction seem never ending as syrian and russian fighter jets prepare the ground for the advance of government troops islamist militias stand their ground unwilling to give up their last stronghold without a fight. civilians are the worst affected more than 100 among the many children were killed in february alone. health clinics are also.

2 hours after silva was born the clinic was hit by a russian fighter jet. it was the 1st thing that happened in her life away. almost a 1000000 syrians have already lost their homes in the disputed region there holed up in refugee camps uprooted and traumatized in freezing temperatures. fleeing north to turkey has not been an option. abdullah mohammed and his daughter had to leave their home to they fled the bombs in the city of sort of keep east of it lead in a stroke of luck they found shelter with a friend. but they're far from safe and the outlook is bleak. and. this war must and i mean that with all my heart. no child should have to go through this nor should the elderly. america.

who are with this video struck a chord when it went viral touching millions of viewers the world over. mohammed is determined to maintain dignity in the face of death. the heart on that we laugh at the bombs so that when they hit us at least we die smiling without fear and with on one with the hook. amid the devastation of syria's war it's no small achievement when a father can bring his daughter moments of joy. to the us now democratic presidential candidate joe biden has gotten a big boost ahead of super tuesday former candidates better or work people to judge have all and door spied and ahead of today's key slate of primaries the primaries and caucuses are how both 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's the most important of all the primaries because of people in 14 states will be casting their ballots today under this system the more votes a candidate gets the more delegates they are awarded and the states with the most democratic delegates up for grabs are california with 415 and texas with 228 by the end of super tuesday it should become clear who the democratic presidential nominee will be well california has america's biggest latino population which gives them an important voice in deciding which democrat will run against president trump aleksandr phenomena travel to los angeles to see which issues are energizing latino voters bare. minimum it on on the air with armando you have produced. a latino radio station in los angeles school or it's not politics is his passion

but this tuesday armando says many latinos just like emo are eager to get out and vote. they're looking for are quite a good leader for our song body this they're going to give you confidence they're going to give them. for. their own leaving. as we leave chick to paycheck to paycheck the. president's policies and spread to wreak disturb many that he feels they all are hoping for a candidate who can replace him. 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 really intelligent most angeles county fornia so chris you see it's the price with its

$415.00 delegates no wonder the candidates are complaining to them that last minutes these are bernie sanders supporters he seems to be the most successful candidate in reaching out to let's you know both sides. i think you just talked to a lot of people that are like he got the bench by the. big corporations and special interests whether it's big oil big pharma the gun industry are essentially creating our policies with their money and what bernie sanders is doing is trying to take the power away from those big corporations and give it back to the people like us people are struggling right now people are falling into homelessness for 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 at leo's tackle a popular place in the neighborhood we need christian iran the pole the c.

direct to 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 latinos have been traumatized living under the top administration you know if you look at the child separation crisis he tried to end the doco program i feel like latinos in this particular action arse are seeing this as a moment to really fight back and actually stand up to what's happening in our country today. and super tuesday seems like an important 1st step to bring about a change. earlier we spoke to washington correspondent stephanie months we asked him sanders or biden who has the momentum. but the n.h.s. joe biden joe biden had a tremendous 48 hours 3 months ago as friends and now the support of they don't rule amy. go to judge as you have said and that is of course

just 24 hours before super tuesday and guess where this happens in texas on states just a few hours ago and that's of course all for a reason so all eyes are on joe biden just remember just a few days ago before saturday joe biden's campaign was basically written off then he wins south carolina boom now he's back vice president showing up strong on all networks in the united states and wants to capitalize on the momentum has gathered and the as you said democrats core elites the classic democrats are reading around biden right now. let's catch up now on 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 sunday i go again on monday since october the south american country has seen protests over economic inequality and the high cost of living. residents

impacting daily life and shaking the country's already struggling economy. what's more you know we have no choice but to be open i have commitments and i have bag 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 forecast for this year by half a percent to $2.00. percent the worst performance since the 2008 financial crisis. well authorities here in berlin of just reported the latest figures on the coronavirus in germany and let's bring in our political correspondent nina with the latest on that hi nina what have authorities said about the state of the outbreak here in germany well the government body that's in charge of public health and

disease prevention that will but institute they released a daily updates and they've just presented the latest figures they say that the total of one $188.00 confirmed cases here in germany now the virus is present in 13 hours have gemini's 16 federal states and what's interesting the expert said was that the origin you have to look at the origin of the infections that only 2 of the cases here in germany can actually be directly linked to china some people caught the virus in iran and then it's leave but by far the highest amount of people caught the virus here in germany and that the experts say is in line with the global trend the china is no longer the region with the most dynamic development in terms of the virus spreading it's now spread to the experts have just said that 72 countries worldwide and so they're expecting virus to stay with us you know what are authorities saying about how their time trying to stop the spread here. well of

course they're trying everything they can to interrupt the chain and to reduce the infection rate and actually limit the contacts between people who have been diagnosed with the virus and tested positive and so they say that they're counting on everybody's help and they say that individuals of should of course basic hygiene they should limit their social contacts whenever possible they shouldn't travel companies and schools can close down if there are suspected cases and of course the authorities deeply rely on the fact that doctors keep suspected cases away from regular patients so the virus doesn't spread even further and of course everybody is looking very closely at what all of this means for the economy because of course germany is your strongest economic engine the power house and some politicians are openly calling for an economic support package so they call me take hits but that's

not official government policy so far our correspondent you know has a reporting for us thank you. now 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. this is the night of the giant victory. netanyahu is victorious until 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 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 lend and i'm telling you i did not and i will not netanyahu supporters were pleasantly surprised. because it's a story that i think that it's 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. all right let's bring in our correspondent tanya kramer she's standing by for us in jerusalem hi tanya good to see you as we said this is the 3rd election in israel in under a year what are the results tell us this time around what is different compared to the last 2 elections. schwab i think what's different this time is she compared to

the elections and april and september that benyamin netanyahu and the likud there have to come full to the lead and that gives him some kind of momentum to really go ahead and go and to build a new coalition but of course as you said in the report as well is that he still full sort of one to 2 seats. we are not yet sue about the final counting there because the results the final results are expected sometime later today and it's a very narrow margin so we have to wait whether you need to look for one or 2 seats to come over that magic number of 61 seeds out of 120 knesset seats to be able to form a coalition government what is the perspective there i mean can he really break the deadlock and form a government. well that's a big question now what discussed in is about himself to set in this victory speech

overnight and he wants to form broad a stable. national government maybe leaving the door open also to other coalition partners we understand that he will meet today already with those smaller writing carty said to have over he said they want to go with him into a coalition but he has actually only a few options because other parties like the israel bit tainui some of it to leave the man who it was always considered to be the king maker and also of course blue and wide and he guns down have always said they wouldn't sit in the government with netanyahu as the prime minister that would sit that they could but not with benyamin netanyahu because of his upcoming trial and his indictments so what will be left for him unless they make a compromise he could form and narrow right to being a coalition government but then still he needs some kind of defectors maybe those

one or 2 seats from other factions that would go over to his likud party or to another smaller right wing party tanya this political impasse i mean what impact has this all had on voter turnout. but there was a lot of talk of doing the election campaign but also. election day that there's a vote of the team i think that concern may need the complaining because people have told me no we've heard everything no new political messages it's all about whether you are for or against and netanyahu but the voter turnout was one of the highest for the past yes definitely higher than in april and september that actually shows you that i think israelis wanted to see an end to this political deadlock that they wanted to see you know that some kind of government can be formed although we don't know whether this will happen soon but certainly they were

interested in going out to vote and 10 years quickly and and benny gantz why did he who is the hope of israel's left not succeed in winning these elections. now think this election was always about a vote for or against netanyahu now you can say that the likud has a comfortable majority but still the margin to blue and white is relatively small so you can also say that you know half of the israeli public still wants to see someone else at the helm of the next government and then benyamin netanyahu so i think the big question will be we have waiting the beginning of a trial against netanyahu you will appear in court in 2 weeks and i think then it will shift you know from the political issues also to the legal issues benyamin netanyahu all right our correspondent tonya kramer reporting there from jerusalem thank you. let's get a reminder now of our top stories aren't e.-w. tensions are rising on the border between greece and turkey where thousands of
