super tuesday 14 us states are holding presidential primaries today and if you haven't followed the u.s. campaign for the white house and till today where your timing is perfect the real contest the fight among democrats to unseat dollar truong it really begins today from a field of 25 candidates there are now only 52 of them serious contenders one a socialist promising a revolution the other a centrist promising a tomorrow minus the extremes. i'm bored off in berlin this is the day. the most americans don't want the promise of a revolution. to go. pundits said the polis. bernie

can try all the democrats want on how many who said democrat. but we will still see troll not just because of me but because you. democrats want to nominate him to beat down and strong and that is why today i am. sure thing. also coming up turkeys president is threatening to flood europe with millions of migrants people as political weapons today the european union's response to turkey not with us. the situation at our border is not only greece issue to manage it is the responsible responsibility of europe those who seek to test europe's unity will be disappointed it will hold the line

and our unity will prevail. but to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day watching and waiting for the final results of super tuesday the decisions being taken today in 14 u.s. states represent the 1st major step to determine who among the democrats will challenge president donald trump in november although there are 5 candidates on the ballots today the race is looking more and more like a contest between just 2 candidates and 2 camps in the past 24 hours former candidates better work of texas pete booted chick of indiana and amy club which are of minnesota have all pledged their support to former vice president joe biden a consolidation of power of among moderates now juxtapose that against the democratic socialist candidate bernie sanders sanders began the primary season as

the front runner but joe biden he has come from behind big time on this super tuesday the democratic party in america has 2 faces the more progressive leftists and younger wing led by sanders and the moderate auteur centrist championed by biden and both camps are courting america's growing latino population like never before. i mean on the air with amanda why you have a producer with can tell you k w a latino radio station in los angeles stuart's not politics is his passion but this tuesday armando assess many latinos just like email are eager to get out and vote. they're looking for a good leader they're looking for somebody they're going to give you confidence they're going to give them. p s 4 for day on leaving.

check to check to pay check. president donald trump's policies and treachery disturb many that he feels they all are hoping for a candidate who can best 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 they represent roughly a 3rd of the state's eligible voters and their influence is growing. a reli in downtown los angeles county fornia super tuesday speaker trice with its 415 delegates no wonder the candidates are campaigning to live their 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 policy with their money and what brief industry is trying to take the power away from the big corporations and give it back to the people like us people are struggling right now people 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 that rally at the tackle a popular place in the neighborhood 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 felt 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 end the doco program i feel like latinos in this particular action ours 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. well over salat is on the campaign trail for us tonight he is in austin texas good evening to you. takes is in california they are the states with the most delegates up for grabs today and they also happen to have the largest latino populations talk to me about their growing importance here when we're talking about electing a president. yeah that's right brant and the importance of the latino voters is growing simply because the amount of latino voters in the state of texas in particular is growing and we just heard it in the report the same numbers apply to california one 3rd of the voters here in texas are

latino and that potentially means one 3rd of the delhi gets that are up for grabs here that will eventually vote for the our candidate at the democratic national convention in july that are one 3rd are also up for grabs so a very important group of the population here that candidates are certainly targeting in particular and the latinos are in particular now looking at who could potentially win against president trump in the presidential election later this year he's not a very popular figure year because of his anti migrant rhetoric that he's been using from the start also just remember the el paso shooting 7 months ago that killed 22 people mostly migrants and immigrants and that is brought into connection with president trump's rhetoric as well so that latino voters are looking for someone who is able to defeat trump and right now a majority believes that bernie sanders could be that one it's interesting the

point you make about the president because the rhetoric about the threat from south of the border it has been tempered in the way asked a few weeks a month that's for sure is it possible in 2020 for the 1st time ever that the vote could it be the deciding vote today as well as on the election day in november i mean is that how powerful the latino vote has become. the vote is powerful and it is certainly an important vote but let's not forget another 3rd if we stay in texas where i am right now another 3rd of the voters are black voters so that's also a very important aspect and think about joe biden who was just able to secure a very prominent endorsement from the black community and won. the state of south carolina really gaining momentum right now as we speak so that will certainly also be an important aspect and in fact you need the support of latino voters as well as

black voters and the wide voters as well if you are a democratic candidate and if you want to have a chance to win the presidential election i know the detention is now focused on joe biden and bernie sanders but where does that leave mike bloomberg and elizabeth warren on this super tuesday. very interesting figure now he's on the ballot for the 1st time he skipped the 1st rounds in the 1st states put some $500000000.00 off his own pocket into his election campaign and he was very successful with that in spite of his lack of you know how he comes across in debate on the debate stage for instance he was in texas in polling number 2 candidate he failed to position 3 but now with biden gaining momentum he's increasingly under pressure so it will be very interesting to see how

that 1st time for him on the ballot will regard as we get the results later today and tomorrow elizabeth warren has been very resilient and she has been continuing to collect donations but that doesn't really reflect in her polling at the moment. is over there with the latest from austin texas on this super tuesday all over thank you. well for more analysis and to keep the tradition going i'm joined here at the big table tonight by julius bundle our he is a veteran of the obama campaigns of 20082012 he was right here at the big table 4 years ago when we were talking about super tuesday then it's a different world now sure is that it really is well a 2 man race for the democrats is that what we're looking at now after super tuesday i think this is pretty much what it boils down to i mean a couple of people left the race obviously a mea culpa chirpy bowditch thompson i have jobbed out all uniting behind joe biden

of course the topsiders still looking new he's going to throw his support behind but it's pretty much the moderate lane of the democratic party with joe biden of course against you know the progressive or the revolutionary wing of the democratic party or the social democratic party with bernie sanders so i think the big question tonight is is going to be is bernie sanders going to be able to fend off the establishment or will the establishment sort of strike back all the endorsements between behind joe biden is that going to be what's playing out and i do does it work in his favor the can't he say with all these endorsements from which are. can he say see the establishment is against me they're all ganging up on me with fighting and those are exactly those are exactly the emails i've been getting all day ice on the phone bernie sanders e-mail newsletter of course and this is what he's posing as social media on him on this that is of course hitting record fundraising totals and he's very close to 50000000 just in february and this

is exactly the pitch days making to his supporters look if you want to change you got to support me on this super tuesday you can't go back to joe biden in the ways we've always had when i ask you as a european. bernie sanders qualifies as a social democrat here but he calls himself a democratic socialist so he's just switched the words but it changes the theme. early in the term do you think that's a been a mistake for him in the united states would he be better served to call himself a social democrat look i think if bernie sanders can talk about the issues that brought him here health care right income equality he's on a winning path if he gets into an intellectual debate into a philosophical debate over social democratic values or whether your democratic socialist donald trump is laughing you know the republican party is just having a party because that's the way they get to label him and joe biden i mean on

election night in south carolina he says if the democrats want a democrat you know they got to vote for democrat and not force bernie sanders and so i think bernie sanders loses if he talks about those kind of issues you know it's a good point you bring up i want you to take a listen to want a voter said today in texas when they were asked about what type of person should become president. i don't think it's about being. happy if everyone got good profits from the prospective. decision where they can actually you know that part of the world from the way we started to think things in a picture of who is the best person to be this person and i love. the leader of the free world you vote for the leader of the free world a voice of reason they i mean she's talking about qualifications instead of electability is that a mistake that we've seen in this campaign so far this obsession with who's

electable i mean you look at the polls it's pretty much 4949 nobody see a clear front against right now the democrats a sticker i saw this and i when i was over there a couple of weeks ago everyone saying we got a beat down that's our number one priority but i think at the most important juncture is you got to be able to turn out your base and we started seeing that with joe biden in south carolina we had a pretty big crowd some great excitement. bernie sanders had this the entire time so i think it's about exciting the base it's not just about making a rational argument yeah exciting the base mike bloomberg i don't know if he could be accused of doing too much of that this is his debut in terms of primaries who does he threaten sanders or by i think right now he cuts into the biden support every vote for bloomberg is a vote taken away from biden i don't think there's anybody voting for bloomberg who is a democratic socialist for that matter so i think if bloomberg actually wants to support

a modern version he should drop out of the race now at the same time he just spent way too much money he's made an investment of 600000000 i think he wants to see where that and this is really just keep going right oh absolutely and he said he was going to in fact he actually paid all of his staff and there were more than 2000 people on his payroll already all the way through november well but he said amazing if i'm jumping out there must a porter get a guy who's a truck amazing amazing i want you to take a listen to what bloomberg told reporters today they were asking him some well some hard questions and he had some hearty answers. well i. well i don't think that i can win any other ways but contested convention is is a democratic process but the both of them are honorable americans nice human beings and great great people but they are of legislators neither of them will extract moderate republicans and independents over to them and that's what you have

to do all right so there's he's saying i'm good man to attract republicans and independents you agree there's always been this argument about bernie sanders does he have a ceiling can he get above the 30 percent that he's been talking about and joe biden obviously is clearly just starting out his campaign after south carolina victory look the momentum is clearly on the side of joe biden he's going into super tuesday with the clear momentum again on the side let's see how plays out i will make this one point to your viewers in california one of the most important states on the super tuesday a lot of people have already voted by mail so this is going to be critical how did those votes break did they already cast their votes the last 23 weeks for bernie sanders or is this actually some were joe biden can break this race it wide open actually cash in on some of those delegates because if he again gets to that magic number of 991 those of delegates you need to win to close a convention then the whole debate about mike bloomberg and an open or contested

convention you know is just left in the dust well it's a nightmare scenario isn't it to have a contested convention you definitely don't want to go back to that democrats tried this in the sixty's that's right and you definitely do not want to have that the democrats only have a chance to defeat donald trump in november if they're united you so again i'm hoping for debates i'm open for elections and campaigning where they don't actually burn down all the bridges act this party needs to come together and come november we've got 30 seconds here at the beginning of the show i said that the democrats. in the race for the white house for the democrat. really begins today you agree oh absolutely i think it started a year ago they need to build up their organization it's going to be incredible hard to actually defeat an incumbent president especially one who's dug in the trenches as hard as stone trumpets ok you want to venture a guess on who's going to win super tuesday again it comes down to the early vote i think will be able to tell more 2 more afternoon when we come back with those early

vote numbers are right to listen to lars always good to have you on the show good to have your insights thank you they spread. well it was a very visible and clear show of solidarity with greece today european union leaders met at the greek border with turkey to discuss a solution to what has become yet another migration crisis screeches prime minister is accusing turkey of encouraging migrants to cross into the border of greece now over the weekend turkish president to one announced that his government will no longer stop migrants from crossing turkish territory to reach the european union today european commission president and ally and reminded erda one of the deal he signed back in 2016 the deal that requires him to do exactly what he is now refusing to do. 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 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. because we will wait here for 4 or 5 months we are determined to wait 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 here have been is i don't know if this is turkey's game or europe sort of but they're playing with us they put us in a miserable situation. e.u. 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 questions i hope this crisis will serve as

a wake up call for everyone to assume the worst possible that 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 values turkey is 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. greek authorities say they've prevented tens of thousands of people from crossing the border trucks have a drive with supplies blankets and pillows for make shift shelters those looking for 2 year are preparing for more days if not weeks or months camping out in no man's land. and for more now i'm joined from brussels by mark perrine he's with the carnegie europe a think tank on european foreign policy he is a former e.u.

ambassador to turkey ambassador it's good to have you on the day maybe you can help us understand the thinking of the turkish president right now he is precipitating a migrant crisis in europe in the hopes that the influx of migrants will pressure europe to push nato to help turkey in its military campaign in northern syria is that how you understand the situation. well 1st of all the turkish president is facing multiple crisis he has a war. he's eastern border he's had millions of refugees for years but there's also an economic crises and there is a political challenge to his leadership so it's a lot and then last thursday comes these massive blow and anti about the early on of the turkish army he's basically taken out by 4 planes. immobilized study for that 50 injured refusal for a look up the evacuation so it is

a huge blow and something very vexing for the president and very painful for the army obviously so the 1st thing that is done is diversion by creating these artificial crisis on the greek border small crisis but totally artificial in the sense that people were given a false narrative the border is open well it's half open it's open and doctors are not on the grid side and then they were given free bus rides so it's totally artificial it's what we call weaponization of refugees and this has created an outrage but in turkish terms it's probably seen as a word to ramp up the international his narrative. is this a move of desperation by mr heir to one. desperation is one word i would i would rather call it dual frustration the the the people to to russia didn't really work and we can see that deaf serious differences now so that's one frustration the

other frustration these of those was europe and request for a rule of law and all these think that turkish president doesn't care too much about anymore so the option here and this is vintage the one in my view is simply permanent confrontation was everybody. so that you can present yourself as the savior in the crisis this is the sense of the but if you call reasoning. but at the end of the day if you're talking about what happened last thursday in northern syria but these turkish troops were killed you know they were killed by forces that were russian or were supported by the russian military that has nothing to do with the european union has nothing to do with with the migrants so he's conflating issues here and it almost seems that he's trying to

lash out at europe for something that actually the syrians and the russians are responsible for. and turkey never wanted europe as part of the political dialogue on syria so but you know these constant u. turns changes of position this is part of the current policy navigating you know day by day without a real strategy and when things stand by all at once on all sides then there is a violent reaction you've seen and you've described yourself the outrage in europe they have been the federal chancellor said it very well it's shameful to to use human beings especially refugees as a weapon or as a. a tool to make a point to european leaders so that's one thing the 2nd thing is that yes there is sort of diety was greece because this is a normal working of the e.u. internal solidarity is one of the principles of the e.u.

what matters now is whether there is still room for a cross border humanitarian assistance to these syrian internet internally displaced people that are about a 1000000 of them sitting right on the turkish border but on the syrian side you know that is not something that is entirely dependent on the e.u. in 1st depends on the next discussion between mr putin and mr add on whether they can agree on a ceasefire at what price on each side mr removed any. recourse in the control of the highways ambassador unfortunately we're out of time investor mark perrine we appreciate your time in your valuable insights tonight thank you thank you for having me. well the day's almost done the conversation continues online you'll find us on twitter either get up you knew she could follow me a print off t.v. don't get to use our hash tag today and remember whatever happens between knowing
