the boat. the boat . this is the w.'s life for berlin a show of support the chief sends a clear message as your confront a migration crisis to those who seek to protect europe's unity will be disappointed will hold the line and our unity will prevent your commission president or some of founder lying around 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 the border from neighboring turkey also coming up

no signs of easing up south korea's president declares war on the corner fires his country has the 2nd highest number of inspections after china and seoul just reported a record surge in new cases plus a super tuesday showdown is the biggest day yet in the race for the u.s. democratic presidential nomination can moderate democrats unite and deal a blow to front runner bernie sanders and will billionaire michael bloomberg be a spoiler. and why hawk is great to have you along everyone in a sign of solidarity with greece european union leaders have headed to greece's border with turkey to discuss a solution to this latest phase of the migration crisis. well the emergency meeting

was called by greek prime minister heriot consummate so talk us who's accused turkey of encouraging migrants to head through the greek border said over the weekend it would no longer stop migrants in its territory from trying to enter the e.u. the head of the european commission or is a law 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's not an enemy and people 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 speed up rather is a greek word for shields of the e.u. commission president there was essentially a thinking greece for it's a role as an e.u. border state well lots to unpack let's take you now to max zander who has been tracking the developments on the greek side of the greek turkish border i'm actually what jumped out at you from mr van de lyons a message to greece. well you actually said it already this was a strong show of solidarity. the leaders of the european institutions came together with the. greek prime minister kenyatta smith attack us and they brought one common message and that is greece you're doing the right thing europe is behind you there was no criticism of greeks handling of the situation here at the border of the last

couple days no criticism of the allege excessive use of force or the illegal pushback by the rather there was praise and that is because the e.u. relies on greece to protect its external borders and that's why it was enough on the line and now it's that the european union would step up its support to protect the greek borders by sending a rapid deployment team by frontex that is the european border protection agency and this includes vessels this includes airplanes and personnel as well as a roughly $700000000.00 euro zone financial aid now at max the greek prime minister it's attack us also commented on the growing crisis add his country's a border with turkey let's take a listen to what he said earlier today greece expects tangible sort of verity from the european union and i can tell you the presence of the entire european leadership europe 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 my question crisis i hope this crisis will serve as a wake up call for everyone to assume their responsibilities. a wake up call max is what the prime minister said will the proposals by the e.u. commission chiefs of an ally in placate the greek government which let's be honest has been warning brussels to take turkey's threats to opening the border seriously for years. well you have to and you have to know that ever since the beginning of the refugee crisis in 2015 greece did not feel that they were being helped by the other e.u. member states people here in greece as well as politicians leadership feel abandoned by the rest of the european union so this step to step in and help protecting the greek and the european borders with with additional manpower this

could be seen as a 1st important step but this is no long term solution this is no sustainable solution to the problem and this is what greek leaders will be looking for as a next step now at max sound of reporting from the greek a turkish border thank you very much. let's take 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 a deer and wits of that but as this next report shows they've landed 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 i being its borders i 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 the 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 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 they said greek soldiers took their money and their mobile phones and brought them back to turkey. also had no idea what the place a doing

a what's happening between turkey in europe we don't deserve to be treated like this with 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 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. many migrants is still camped out so behind you i can see them there i mean 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 so people start lighting a fire they've set up a makeshift shelter here and most of the people here are they about 100 maybe 200

people most of them of families with small children we've just seen a truck coming with aid some of the kids i don't know if you can see them they're just running 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 in 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 11 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 crisis is in syria an ad 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 stem to react are you'll yohan our reporting from the turkish side of the greek turkish border thank you very much. want to bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world powerful tornadoes have struck the u.s. state of tennessee killing at least 19 people one of them costs a very damaged in the capital nashville destroying buildings and ripping down power lines tennessee is one of the 14 states set to hold presidential primary elections today. evoke a no on the indonesian island of java has erupted mt merapi spewed a cloud of ash and lava some 6 kilometers into the air the eruption briefly

have all dropped out of the race and endorsed the former vice president while mr biden is one of 5 candidates still in the running for the democratic nomination so what's unique about super tuesday it is the most important voting day so far because 14 states will be holding primaries and over the system the more votes a candidate gets the more delegates there awarded and the states with the most democratic delegates up for grabs are california with 450 and texas with 228 well by the end of super tuesday it may become clear who has the best shot at clinching the democratic presidential nomination while perhaps no other candidate has been banking on a super tuesday success more than this man here right behind me michael bloomberg it's the 1st time the billionaire former new york see. the mayor is on the primary ballot he's hoping an impressive delegate hall today might have to pull tim into

contention for the nomination while mr bloomberg has already spent more than half a $1000000000.00 of his own fortune on his campaign well the gamble pay off. mike bloomberg at 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 want 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 wealth 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 by an age of 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 but up 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 balled 1500000 facebook ads and even paid ordinary people to post messages supporting him on their profiles

the mayor bloomers naca charm and he's not going to make you fall in love with this policy ideas but his aunts 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 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 could party and its allies are likely to fall short of a parliamentary majority to form

a government 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 slander is 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. by the story like. the photo but 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. now for more we can join in time here cramer our correspondent in jerusalem for the very latest tiny up 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 big to be here and we want to form the next coalition government having said that he still falling short of the $61.00 seats he needs it's of one or 2 seats he needs to get to come to the parliamentary majority of $61.00 seats out of 120 and he already started just 3 coalition talks today talking to his own at the smaller 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 margins very narrow here that could be either one of the bigger parties or it could be also some one case of my 2 a defector to his alliance and as as you just rightly pointed out at a time where 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 additional $1.00 to $2.00 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 has a lot of talk about voters the tea you know the 30 election in a row i may need to in the complain of people who were 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 you know to turn the negative last election campaigns to tended to something positive to him and voters were also note turned away from his that he has to appear in court in 2 weeks' time so dave voted for him they want him

to stay also the next prime minister. cramer reporting for you from jerusalem thank you for your continued coverage. and to sports now byron munich are hoping they'll be able to focus on football when they face shone in the german cup tonight several bundesliga matches over the weekend were overshadowed by protests against hoffenheim is billionaire owner mr ditmar hop while bahrain's own match at half and i was stopped twice and the players left the pitch and byers coach says he's aware of the protests might not end there. is a club more used to making headlines on the pitch right now what happened off issues dominating the sports pages protests against hoffenheim owner de mar hopes interrupted by ends game at hoffenheim on saturday binds coach admits moving on from that might not be so easy. in the. mind of months of.
