they're going to give them. p s 4 or day on leaving. we leave check to check to pay check. president donald trump's policies and slattery disturb many that he feels they all are hoping for a candidate who can't place him. as soon as california moved its primary to super tuesday it was clear latinos would be crucial in choosing the democrats' presidential nominee but they represent roughly a 3rd of the state's eligible voters and their influence is growing. a rally in downtown los angeles county for new super tuesday speaker price with its $415.00 delegates no wonder the candidates are complaining to them that last minutes these are the center supporters he seems to be the most successful candidate in reaching out to latino voters. i think you just talk to

a lot of people that are like did not believe the franchise 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 doing is trying to take the power away from the big corporations and give it back to the people like god's 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 meo is tackled a popular place in the we need christian a run up policy director at the latino community foundation school it is to make sure that everything let's he 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 change. artless because the story now by going to washington d. to be uses defines him on his own the story for is can he need to you stefan so bernie sanders he's looking strong in california due to the latino vote but do latino voters do we know do they think that they will be better off economically with a president say ender's. i think i think yes actually it's not the question anymore is there any sanders is going to carry california almost and that is things to the latino vote it's how well will he do all over today on super tuesday but specifically in california the latino democratic vote there is

more progressive and liberal than anywhere else for example in texas as you know joe biden was in texas yesterday he was endorsed by mr buthe j h. r and roark specifically that was and accident in texas because here he has a chance to get more of the latino vote in texas maybe carrying this state so yes senators california the latino vote there is at least the experts and observers say that is definitely for bernie sanders and yes they're hoping that bernie sanders will make all the difference to them ok so we've got sanders they're strong in california we've got this stop bernie push is on the democratic party we have everyone rally around joe biden are we talking really now about a race of 2 camps that will come down to these 2 candidates. yes and no yes in terms of that you are right the democratic establishment is

rallying around joe biden because they are scared of. bernie sanders bernie sanders had said they don't want he doesn't want and his campaign don't want anything to do with it at some point and that happens today as we speak right now of course the bernie sanders campaign is touting a totally different horn and saying we have to have a unity we are unity we are democrats and the most important goal is of course to get donald trump out of the house behind me in november and have a democratic president instead however you have some right. bernie sanders is not the only wild card here is michael bloomberg from new york who is the x. factor nobody knows how he will perform because he was never ever on the ballot in all those polls and primaries before he's the 1st time now on all the ballots and he spent millions of dollars in ads so we will see as everybody's best guess how

well mr bloomberg will do and don't forget. elizabeth warren she still nabbing percentage and votes probably away from bernie sanders he can't like this by then of course he's fine with this. bottom line is everybody else right now where is both warren actually where's the campaign now and how long will she hold on you that's a very good point what about these undecided voters and they are always key in u.s. elections which democratic candidate do you think will attract the most voters when we get to november. my bet is on joe biden. and his wife he is if you look at the demographic and at the democratic party demographic in the united states in total the probably the most electable for many many many democrats also for many many

independents and for what remember that term future for more republicans so my bets are on biden maybe bloomberg sanders i think has no chance overall to be really endorsed by the majority of independents and democrats you know what we will certainly find will be a lot wiser after super tuesday that's for sure to fund the story for us in washington sean thank you. well here in europe a sign of solidarity with greece as the european union grapples with a new chapter in this latest migration crisis european union leaders held emergency talks today on the country's border with turkey and greece is accusing turkey of encouraging migrants to cross its borders illegally as well as neighboring bogey area which also was a member of the european union just days ago turkey said that it will no longer

prevent migrants from trying to leave its territory to reach europe that is sparking fears of a new wave of migration into the european union. people are still stuck on the turkish side of the border searching for any possible way to get to greece and further into europe. you know us as look just over there the greek soldiers are watching us with that they're not allowing us to enter it's just 15 to 20 meters away. but they won't let us in so much because i'm going to make this we can wait here for 4 or 5 months we are determined so it waits while we will not leave we won't give up and when they finally open the gates we will and if they don't we will wait have been i don't know if this is turkey's game or europe's want but they're playing with us they put us in a miserable situation a new leaders came to see the situation for themselves after greece asked for help

to secure its land and sea entry points. 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 the responsibility of the e.u. leaders announced 700000000 euros in assistance support from its border protection agency and patrol vessels now is the time for concerted action and cool halves and acting based on our valueless. 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 greek authorities say they've prevented tens of thousands of people from crossing the border trucks up arrived with supplies blankets and pillows for me shift shelters those looking for its year and preparing for more days if not weeks or months
