place when the british stuff. starts march 20th 2 don't. blame blame blame. blame blame blame blame. blame. this is you know we lose life from berlin a show of support the e.u. chief sends a clear message as europe confronts a migration crisis those who seek to test europe's unity will be disappointed will hold the line and our unity will prevail in your commission present yourself underlying valves to help greece deal with

a surge of refugees from war torn syria and beyond greece has been blocking thousands of them trying to cross its border from neighboring turkey also coming up no signs of easing up south korea's president declares war on the coronavirus this country has the 2nd highest number of infections after china and so just recorded a record surge in new cases plus the super tuesday showdown is the biggest day of the race for u.s. president so far 10 moderate democrats unite and deal a blow to bernie sanders and could billionaire michael bloomberg plate a sports illustrated. landmark it's great to have your company every once in a sign of solidarity with great syrup in union leaders have headed to greece.

border with turkey today to discuss a solution to this latest phase of the migration crisis emergency meeting was called by greek prime minister kiriakou miso talk is who's accused turkey of encouraging migrants to head for the greek border onkar said over the weekend it would no longer stop migrants in its territory from from trying to enter the european union while the head of the european commission vonder alliance says it's the duty of europe as a whole to protect greece's border those who seek to test europe's unity will be disappointed we will hold the line and our unity will prevail now is the time for concerted action and cool halves and acting based on our values turkey is not an enemy and people are not just means to reach a goal we would all do well to remember both in the days to come i think

greece for being our european speedup in these times. and that was a volunteer a lion a speaking moments ago and with speed up the e.u. commission president was using the greek word for shield to think greece for its role as you border state well there is so much to discuss want to take you straight now to max sander who was at the press conference of the e.u. commission chief what jumped out at you when max. as you said it already laid out this was a strong show of support a strong show of european solidarity here we had the presidents of the european institutions united together with the greek prime minister meets attack us with one message greece europe is by your side essentially. there was no criticism of

chris's handing of the issue over the last couple of days no criticism of the alleged excessive use of force at the border or the illegal pushbacks but praise for how greece is taking care of the matter for the rest of the european union. the the press conference for the president of the commission present on the line did not have a political sustainable solution that you presented here today but she said that the commission the european union which would do all that it can to help greece in its situation right now and essentially strengthen the european borders and she will do that by deploying a rapid response team by the european risk through border protection if she frontex this includes aircraft ships and personnel and roughly 700000000 euros in financial aid but i'm wondering though max will this be enough for the people in greece will these proposals placate the greek leadership which has been warning brussels for

a very long time to take turkey's threats of opening the borders seriously i mean is it too little too late. while the greeks are worried and this reminds them of the situation in 2015 when when millions of refugees made their way through greece over the balkans to central to central europe most people here support the tough stance of the greek prime minister. and will support the show of solidary show of unity by the european leaders especially here on the islands of greece we've seen the situation deteriorate over the last couple years 5 more than 50000. i'm stuck on the ins right now and this solution is not really going to help them but for people here in mainland greece who see migrants at their borders waiting to come to cross into the mainland this might calm them down for now all right well let's take a listen actually now to greek of pride to the greek prime minister because he commented on the growing crisis at the country's

a border with turkey that you've been reporting on let's take a listen to what he said greece expects tangible sort of verity from the european union and i can tell you the presence of the entire european leadership here at the altar borders of the union sends a clear signal to everyone but let's be honest europe has not been up to the task of dealing with a migration crisis i hope this crisis will serve as a wake up call for everyone to assume their responsibilities. a wake up call max under is how the greek prime minister characterized it. yes that's right a wakeup call. i mean i spoke about the 2015 crisis and 2061 year later the e.u. and turkey put in place this deal a provisionary measure to deal with with the influx of migrants to the european union now this deal is going into the 5th year and this was supposed to be

a provisionary measure and it's within these last 4 years no tangible solution no sustainable solution could be agreed on between the e.u. member states and no relocation scheme of migrants who came to greece and to the rest of the european member states and know a common strategy to deal with the people who might might still come and prime minister his was still the hinting at some of the the member states who are who he say and who are not really pulling their weight in the matter who refused to take in migrants who refused to participate in finding a a tangible solution out max and a reporting out for you at the greek at circus suborder thank you very much for your continued coverage. all of us a closer look now at the situation on the border and the desperate situation many refugees have endured so far thousands of them have made their way to the turkish town of arrogance there but as this next report is about to show they've landed in

limbo unable to cross into greece and out of any 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. but let is you know we were shown on t.v. how turkey was idling its borders and told we could go to the a you 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 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 that 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 they said greek soldiers took their money and their mobile phones and brought them back to turkey. also have no idea what the place is doing a what's happening between turkey in europe we don't deserve to be treated like this we're people too so on this 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. all right let's take you now to the turkish side of the turkish border are a correspondingly hot is tracking that story for you from there and she can bring us the latest from there you'll hear though many migrants are still camped out

behind you i can see them there just describe to us their situation. well right now they're basically getting ready for another night here outside in the open it's pretty cold at night here so people start lighting a fire they've set up a makeshift shelter here and most of the people here i think a about 100 maybe 200 people most of them of families with small children we've just seen a truck coming with a some of the kids i don't know if you can see them they're just running all all over the place a truck came here and was distributing blankets but as you can imagine staying outside at night a blanket is not enough many people tell us they do not have enough to eat they do not have enough to drink they do not have access to toilets and sanitation so their

situation here is very difficult but many people at the same time told us they are determined to stay here for more days even months although a lot of people have criticized mr heir to juan for weaponize this very desperate situation of these people that you have just been reporting on he has pledged that he will send all these people towards europe is he really prepared to do that. well you have to understand where that's coming from prison and one says international support of the crisis in syria is it live where his forces are fighting syrian regime forces we've seen deadly clashes that he wants international support he wants an international no fly zone and he wants to ramp up pressure on europe so they share burdens with him they help him they support him in hosting

all these refugees turkey has taken in nearly 4000000 refugees in the past year due to the prices in syria an add on repeatedly said he can't host anymore now he kind of acted upon these threats so many people here tell us that they're moving here to the border has been facilitated by the turkish authorities so the big question is now what happens next right are these people going to stay are many of them going to stay or are they tired and will they go back will the turkish authorities let them go back or will they encourage maybe more people to come here until the european union you know reacts in the way taki one some to react are you leon are reporting from the turkish side of the turkish border thank you very much . want to know about some of the other stories making news around the world. powerful tornadoes have struck the u.s.

mike bloomberg of one of his rare rallies in houston texas here the former new york mayor is presenting himself as the only candidate who can stop donald trump so if you are in someone who talks turkey and who has a record of accomplishments on all the big issues facing our country country and if you want somebody has the resources to beat trump that's made. of mike bloomberg resources in other words his well is a controversial topic among voters while some say his money makes him independent others say the billionaire wants to buy the election. we're essentially in the middle of a political science experiment we don't know how this is going to turn out no one has ever thrown this much money at a primary before i don't see that he's trying to buy the election he's using his resources to make a difference for america i say that. he can't be bought is really what that means a nation divided but he'd have control president mike bloomberg is running and i'm

president did lee expensive come payne he has spent $300000000.00 on t.v. ads he doesn't accept donations relying instead on his own fortune brings people together that means he's outspend president trump in 2016 who talked about $66000000.00 of his personal money on his campaign and his democratic rivals mike bloomberg spent already twice as much as bernie sanders and joe biden combined. thanks to his money mike bloomberg seems to be everywhere he has bought 1500000 facebook ads and even paid ordinary people to post messages supporting him on their profiles the mayor bloomers naca charm you and he's not going to make you fall in love with this policy ideas but his answers are thing to behold wonderfully produced the best visuals the best audio he's good at making commercials

can he persuade voters that commercials are enough i don't think so. super tuesday mike bloomberg is on the ballot for the 1st time this primary season some polls put him among the top 3 candidates for now it seems like his big spending has paid off. and now to another election israel's a prime minister benjamin netanyahu appears to be holding on to a solid lead over his main rival with most votes counted after monday's parliamentary election but it also appears that his the coup party and its allies are likely to fall short of a parliamentary majority to form a government official results are expected later today. show you something 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 blink and i'm telling you i did not and i will not netanyahu supporters were pleasantly surprised. ali a story like. that but i think that 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 cement his

reputation as israel's most durable of politicians. now for more we can join time in our cramer our correspondent in jerusalem for the very latest tanya good to have you can mr netanyahu dysthymia around break the political deadlock and manage to form a government. well i think the difference this time around with this election compared to the last 2 elections in september and april last year is that mr netanyahu wouldn't he has actually taken the lead over blue and white that the last election was either a tie or likud came in 2nd so there is some kind of momentum now for mrs bennett to say we are the victim we have a victory here and we want to form the next coalition government having said that he still falling short of the 61 seats he needs it's of one or 2 seats he needs to get to come to that parliamentary majority of 61 seats out of 120 and he already

started just 3 coalition talks today talking to his own at this mana right wing parties that have already pledged alliance to his right wing bloc so to speak but the big question is you know how to get those additional $1.00 to $2.00 seats we have to wait for the final results to know because the margin is very narrow here that could be either one of the bigger parties or it could be also some encase of my to defect to his alliance and as you as you just rightly pointed out at a time here we're still waiting for official results and the margins are just so narrow and this was israel's 3rd general election in one year what is the likelihood of us seeing a 4th election take place if he doesn't manage to form a government again. well that's always a possibility but i think because the margins are so narrow that he might manage this time to get those additionally one to 2 seats the question is what kind of

government he will actually form we have seen you know that people really want an end to this deadlock that was a lot of talk about voters the team can know this 30 election in a row may need to end the complain people are not quite sure where this is leading to because all the polls had projected a neck and neck race not a clear majority of for any of the parties so this has changed now and i think he managed to you know to turn by the negative last election campaigns to tended to something positive to him and voters were also not you know turned away from his that he has to appear in court in 2 weeks' time so they voted for him they want him to stay also the next prime minister. crime reporting for you from jerusalem thank you for your continued coverage. this is it every news these are top stories.
