9:31 pm
a one way ticket out of the race i'm bring gulf in berlin this is the day. biden because it's the way to celebrate that this is a good 2. we're going to weird because the people of. sinners generally has the advantage when it comes to organization the grassroots support. the 3 people group president they're there they're. also coming up europe's doors closed desperate migrants trying to get in most of

them are fleeing the war in syria tonight you'll meet a syrian mother who used her camera to document the finding and the hate it became a declaration of love for her daughter son amid the chaos her daughter somer was born. synonomous come to from time to singular. to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day with the race among us democrats for the white house a race with stunningly new momentum make that joe mentum that is the new term to describe former vice president joe biden's big win in super tuesday primaries biden clenched 9 states in the northeast and southeast and that all important state texas
9:33 pm
by him surge was made possible by crucial endorsements from other democrats who dropped out of the race billionaire mike bloomberg today became the latest his deep pockets bought him watts of t.v. ads but not enough votes biden the centrist the moderate is now the front runner overtaking bernie sanders the democratic socialist but sanders is showing no sign of stopping he won 4 states on super tuesday including the biggest california so it's now down to sanders biden and elizabeth warren warren has not won a single primary or caucus she even lost in her home state of massachusetts yesterday tonight there is no word on what warren plans to do next. super tuesday proved that joe biden's campaign for the democratic nomination is alive and well. the press the pundits in the credit campaign.
9:34 pm
and then. our charo you got to super tuesday if you're over well maybe over there. the former u.s. vice president can now claim to be the front runner for the democratic presidential nomination exit polls link his success to strong. support from african-americans as well as older and suburban voters i'm a moderate myself so i think his message can reach a lot of people were in the middle reach both left and right by been a big fan of his since the obama administration senator bernie sanders is by no means out of the race for the democratic nomination of the night hard to tell you with absolute confidence we're going to win the democratic nomination was and we're you
9:35 pm
are going to the feet the most dangerous president in the history of this country was sanders went into super tuesday as the front runner he's particularly popular with younger and latino voters and i think that bernie sanders has what it takes to be at the moment the people who i was hoping very would do better in some of the states he was a little exciting in the passing at the same time was 2 other hopefuls senator elizabeth warren and former new york mayor michael bloomberg both performed poorly while one's campaign is still deliberating whether or not to stay in bloomberg has decided to drop out. of super tuesday is an important date in the presidential election calendar but it only represents about one 3rd of the delegates that are up for grabs nationwide. the campaign now moves on to michigan and 5 other states holding primaries next tuesday 350 more delegates are up to be won. in the race is far from over but what
9:36 pm
a different race it has become to talk about that i'm joined here at the big table by rachel rizzo's she's a fellow with the robert bosch foundation here in berlin she's also a u.s. politics analyst good to have you back on the day well joe biden apparently he knew exactly what he was doing when he performed so poorly in those 1st primaries and caucuses and a lot of people were saying you're dead yeah i mean just last. 2 week biden's campaign was all but dead after his showing in iowa and new hampshire but his. race in south carolina really brought him back from the dead right and it set him up to i mean really this was the political comeback of the century i mean if you listen to the people who have been reporting on politics for decades like they haven't seen anything like this so this is exactly what he needed this brought his campaign back and it's looking really good for joe biden right now think he would have won big yesterday on super tuesday with the endorsements that he received the night
9:37 pm
before i'm thinking of thinking of amy. i think he still would have done well yesterday but i do think that people to judge and the club ashar moving out of the way and you know giving what would have mostly been their vote to joe biden really cleared a path of clear victory for him the better or work and or spent in texas so it was really really helpful so i think what we're seeing is you know the more moderate wing of the party sort of starting to coalesce around one candidate i mean there's a do if they were remarkable it was like there was this giant invisible party whip . here in your here in germany you know there as well as in the u.s. the political parties well they're in trouble right now and you've got populist politicians taking advantage of what's going on do you think that political parties here in europe can they look to the democrats in the u.s. and maybe find hope for the future well i think it really depends who you talk to in the united states if you talk to you know moderate to you know sort of center
9:38 pm
left progressives they think this is a very good thing now if you're looking at people who are bernie sanders supporters are elizabeth warren supporters a lot of people say look this this this political system the democratic party is really rigged so people like bernie sanders can't come in and win and so i think you know it really depends on who you talk to and they would give. very different opinions on that stuff about bernie sanders he is not surging the way he would like to you know and he has no rivals indorsing him the way biden did exactly and i think this is going to be really tough for him going forward i think that you know for some people they think that you know this might be the time for say elizabeth warren to jump out of the race and dorst bernie sanders and really give him and the progressive wing of the party the boost that they need to really fight back against biden we're not sure if she's going to do that yet and could
9:39 pm
happen today could happen tomorrow she could stick in the race for another few weeks or all the way up to the convention milwaukee we're just not sure yet i mean right now it's down to sanders biden elizabeth warren i want you to take a listen at what she said last night even as she was losing her home state of massachusetts to the list if you don't care what your job for. the danger is real our democracy our very future hangs in the balance and so this is a decision each and every one of you is going to have to make when there is this much danger do you decide. to kind of get a little timid back up crouch down a little or do you decide to fight back in this fight. or she's funny but i mean she's got the fighting spirit you've got to give that to
9:40 pm
or but does she have a fighting chance you know i mean listening to her words that really is powerful she does have a powerful message she's a scary you know it is and you know she's run a great campaign she has great supporters great organizers i don't know if she has a fighting chance left i mean if you just look at the numbers there is no clear path for her to gain the number of delegates that would propel her to the democratic nomination now i think she views herself as maybe a center approach between bernie and between joe biden now if we get to a convention milwaukee and it's maybe a brokered convention i think that might be her game play right now but like i said before we could be seeing in the next day or so maybe in the next week or so her kind of you know pulling out of the rainy season but a brokered convention i mean to do you foresee. on a collision course the party convention this summer i do i mean i think that you
9:41 pm
know what's clear now is that you know there are 2 clear wings of the democratic party and you know there's a lot of hoopla that goes along for the 1st you know the 1st few months of the primary but you know the majority of delegates have not been awarded yet and we have a way to go and so we could see biden really really start to pull ahead we could see bernie really really start to pull ahead and if that happens i think we'll have a clear answer going forward but you know i think come july if the 2 candidates are neck and neck we could see we could see that happen and that wouldn't be great i think for them and i think marty that would probably be a nightmare scenario for sure it would be what do you make of the reaction from the u.s. president donald trump today he. can grow. angela toward tweet to joe i mean is this a new mr manners mr nice guy drome no of course not i mean i think it you know if i were trump you know i would be i would be nervous about this you know i think that
9:42 pm
he you can see his tweets you know crazy bernie sanders you know using talks about sanders a lot he does and but i think that he realizes that if the democratic party starts to gather around bitin and biden can kind of pull some of the progressive supporters from bernie and sam and warren and really start to get some serious momentum i think he understands that his presidency is in trouble and so no i think that this is just trumping trump there's some you know mark mocking and sarcasm behind all of his tweets we're going to see it i think get pretty ugly going forward to he referred to elizabeth warren today again as all were modern day pocahontas for example the the investigation in ukraine into. do you expect a resurrection of the. chances of winning the nomination of increased dramatically absolutely i mean i think that you know going forward the republicans are going to
9:43 pm
you know play the hunter biden card a lot they're going to try to point to corruption and try to you know undermined by the his candidacy and potentially his nomination so you know i think we're going to see a resurrection of a lot of the same debates a lot of the same issues that we saw earlier this year it's going to be a hot summer. very short rizzo's always good to get your insights into thank you. which united system may do that more than 12000 migrants are now waiting on the turkish side of the border with greece today there were reports that greek police used tear gas to push back migrants trying to cross the european union standing behind greece mindful of the political fallout created after more than a 1000000 refugees were allowed to enter germany back in 2015 or 2 important things have not changed in the last 5 years the board syria is still on and most refugees at europe's gates they come from syria. shots and

9:45 pm
groups within syria but a u.s. officials say that this decision to open turkey's borders has not increased trust between the 2 sides. it live province in northwestern syria is the last stronghold of anti of saud forces and it is where the fighting is still fierce is the loss of life great it's more than a 1000000 people have fled their homes in the round it lived in this latest surge of attacks by president assad's troops in a moment i'll speak with wide al-khateeb about her award winning oscar nominated documentary in time for some a film that started as a love letter for her daughter and has now become a syrian plea for help to the world. should he can nominate engine.
9:46 pm
al-khateeb was a university student in aleppo and. in 2012 she joined the uprising against syrian president bashar al assad. she became a citizen journalist documenting the resistance. and the crackdown the let her go for the. songs alone. kind of shield him from a man. who had a mic on don't you forgot. to forcibly hard. to get it she captured scenes of suffering. find moments of joy.
9:47 pm
oh. i made the chaos her daughter some i was born. it's rough. for her. feet that's for you but i think you know. someone a lot of fun come to for michelle and proceed with. their children she writes all the. amount of control i had from andi. watch how to decide whether to stay and hope for peace. or flee the bombs and bring her daughter to safety.
9:48 pm
before someone has won dozens of prizes including best documentary at the british film awards and an oscar nomination. some. had some pain in. a story made for one child now affecting audiences around the world. well the world may be trying to ignore the inhumanity that's taking place in syria but no one can ever claim that they weren't able to see what was happening there and we can think of a syrian mother and her camera for that today the director of for song. sat down with me here in berlin. what it's good to have you here on the show here in berlin you say that your film is a love letter on your dog but it's become much more than that what has it
9:49 pm
become i would say like it's become so many things but the main things for me was like an evidence about all the crimes that was happening and also an evidence for the resilience that we have a sort of m.p. point or that like propaganda and all of that death around us are you hoping that your film because it has gotten a lot of awards a lot of attention that it's going to prompt the west to take action in the war in syria i need only hope that i like there's so many like difficulties and confusions between what's happening on the whole ward but i really wish like this. some people to take action and think about this show that they are their child and think about all this woman and i and my dream is that we have a say and as they are on life how do you do if you had any indications that that's going to happen i really don't know and unfortunately every time is going more like the threshing is going to war as we all know now and then and more there and in the
9:50 pm
case or there now distortion every day is like became more worse and want to see your film is set in aleppo would you say that libya is now the new aleppo yes they have now it's like a new i think paul and then you all thought and then you would that it's like a friends of theirs and so you have facing the same like again and again and i don't know like what's next but i do hope to see another ending scenario for this place you know the turkish president has said that he's going to do it millions of mostly syrian refugees cross turkey trying to get into europe the gates to europe are closed what do you say to. the migrants who are going towards that border everyone knows that now that they can't get through i really can't say anything for this people because like i'm now safe with my family in the u.k. and i really wish them want to have like a safe life they still shouldn't talk is not good at all like it's not even like
9:51 pm
they don't have like migrants or like asylum process in turkey so all of this a point higher i pay my part less they have as a country they can be a school legally so like they are looking for a better life for them they don't do that see everyone as a friend of the syrian refugees i can fortunately through this 9 years we learn and we should like to be aware of this like there's no friends for the syrian people and so you know at all we saw friends for the syrian regime like russia and iran and hezbollah but we didn't see any government taking great responsibility to have the same things for the regime of bashar al assad has support from the russians what do you what would you like to see happen there because no one wants a war with russia i do wish like that if the government's going to take some responsibility to end the national debt and sort of you know when you see it which governments are there so absolutely everyone because this ward now is like just you
9:52 pm
know like what's happening it's very obvious for everyone the usa should take sponsibility of the u.k. they're bringing in their own and even this war should stop now and trade like they sat down should be like everyone who committed the crimes in syria from russia to the assad regime should like be accountable and very like you know like a court for everyone to know what's happened in syria you know you're a mother would you ask mothers here in europe or in the united states to send their children to syria knowing that their children could die in order to end what's going on there i don't think we need to do something like this it's more of putting pressure on their governments and to do to act for support and. i would just let them think about what you would chose that end in mind like she was on my business friends thing that if someone was you were charged what's what should you do to protect your charge what you just do it to protect the future of this like the holy
9:53 pm
war you know now i. did it but i think at that point of hospitals inside syria it's been like mean that's this is what happened here and the like and you know this is what they have been in the u.s. and the u.k. like this is not just about syria it's about the whole future of this war your film you say that this is a love letter to your daughter but you also ask your daughter to forgive you. while i would say like i've told her that sometimes when we were inside a hospital in the basement when that was around the house all the time and when i was pregnant with her 2nd sister and i didn't know if we would make it out or not and i wanted her to forgive me about this is wrong that i faked as i don't like i want mine was syrian wants to stay in her country and once i started life for her children for. our life i wanted her to forgive me if anything happened for
9:54 pm
like that's their life and i know what i've done was that i think to do but at the same time i wish for how do you know the best life. what was it like you thought you were pregnant and you see in the film that you didn't think that you're going to survive what was it like being you know and expecting mother thinking that you're but you know you're about to bring life into the world but your own life is about to. be extinguished i would say something about this kind of fear but it was one of the most likes things that i have ever heard in my life when i was like like feeling some wind to my tummy or like trying to like keep me in some places where there's. at that happening or an aircraft around i was feeling that i'm more stronger than all of this weapons and all the spotted bombs around us and there is he was trying to use everything to make. a point to destroy the whole city is even
9:55 pm
like. his study of syria i felt that me with my camera with my baby inside me it's more stronger that all of this thankfully that i'm telling you that in london and some of course is growing up do you hope one day to be able to return to syria and you hope that she can call syria home one day yes of course and she knows now she's from syria paul and not just me i think on behalf of all of our like 6 men you know one of the war syrians we are all like sleep and wake up on the day off like looking at the news and say like and have it over and now they're like breaking a new was a sad like is down or something. once they very much is nice to me thanks so much thank you. well that was syrian filmmaker what al-khateeb her documentary for summer has won awards and global attention she told me that she still hopes the world will soon give her your we get the attention so desperately needs before even more people have to die well the day is almost gone as always the conversation
