this is due to a news line from berlin grace's prime minister says the news migrant deal with turkey is dead another day of clashes along the greek turkish border as thousands of people seek to enter the european union being you accuses turkey of using migrants for political ends we ask an architect of the original deal what i knew my current deal might look like also coming up european health ministers urge member states to put solidarity above national interests in the battle to stop the coronavirus the epidemic is spreading fast across europe. this is no good time

to give up. this is not the time 0 for excuses. this is a time for pulling out all the stops research is a racing to develop a vaccine against the deadly virus but it may take longer than hard. i'm rebecca ritter's welcome to the program greek prime minister carry on custom it's a talker says the deal between the e.u. and turkey is dead he accused turkey of using migrants to create a crisis at the border between the 2 countries this morning great border police again used tear gas to repel an attempt by migrants to push through the border from turkey and followed similar sainz from friday european union has won migrants they

will not be allowed to enter. frustration turns to anger for these migrants they're stuck on the turkish border unable to get across this fence and into greece. trying to avoid the tear gas that's being fired at them by greek police oh my we are not ownable if you want to know what is firmly in us this country is now everything we offer migrant families take refuge in this bus station in the turkish town of it in a near the greek border. they've traveled here off to ankara said it would no longer stop migrants from crossing into europe but in the old days the ball goes where opened. we can hear the waldos of the borders. europe union. or

on top of the e.u. is determined to contain what's become i k arctic situation don't go to the border. to bulldoze not open if someone tells you that you can't go because their borders open you can go freely to ewood of through greece or to cyprus that's not to avoid a situation in which you could be in danger the migrants came to the border with high hopes encouraged in part by turkey now they're facing the reality that the european union's gates will remain close to them. earlier. now he's a migration specialist who is considered the architect of the originally you turkey deal w.'s came brady i asked him how a new deal might help in this new crisis at the border. well since the deal was

a simple non-binding statement based on interests what we need to do is find another statement based on the interests of all the key players turkey greece the e.u. not to forget the interests of refugees and migrants i've had a lot of meetings with politicians in the last few days and i think most of them recognize that this agreement was very much in the interest of germany as a major country of destination just as it is very much an interest of greece we have out this agreement greece on the scene to gnc has only 2 options one is everybody to derive in the next year we're lending greece and everybody to lands in greece will stay in greece or greece breaks international law engages in life threatening pushback operations with life rafts and small boats full of refugees including children. to terrify them from coming that will not work it would be illegal and it would mean the refugee convention drowns this year in the g.n.

so in order to have an acceptable choice we need an agreement based on principles that involve being able to return anyone who doesn't need protection to you but that also involves supporting the country that has most refugees in the world and to be honest my sense is that in germany most people most politicians and most people understand this other european countries might feel that they are not concerned nobody comes to these countries and so perhaps they just don't want to pay for refugees in turkey. that was give us the architect of the original migration deal between turkey and the european union well let's turn now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world 2 members of the saudi royal family have been arrested for allegedly plotting to oust king solomon and his designated if one is the former crown prince mohammed bin nayef the other one is one of the king's brothers both have been charged with treason. a u.s.

corona virus outbreak health officials around the globe are scrambling to build a robust public health response on researches race to develop a vaccine here's a closer look at how vaccines work. the most effective way to prevent specific infections is to harness the body's own immune system that scenes like those used to prevent flu are made from either a weakened version of a virus or pieces of its genetic code the vaccination puts the immune system on the alert it makes antibodies that help it respond quickly to the target virus if exposure occurs under ordinary circumstances it can take up to 5 years to develop a safe and effective vaccine but in a race against the novel coronavirus some labs have already begun testing candidates in animal models sounds promising does that mean we'll be seeing one in the next few months that's been implied. we're talking about a vaccine and they're moving along very quickly all of the pharmaceutical companies

are moving along very quickly but in vaccine development experts say quickly is relative if everything moves as quickly as possible the soonest that it could possibly be. a half to 2 years that still might be very optimistic in the meantime could antiviral drugs and at treating those who are already infected help the development curve for a new medicine is even steeper than for a vaccine that can easily take 10 years for a new pharmaceutical to gain regulatory approval and the industry claims it costs upwards of a 1000000000 euros around 9 out of 10 drug candidates never go into production they fail at some point during testing but there's also hope that some medicines that were originally developed to fight other diseases could be repurposed like a compound called rem does a fear that was originally planned as a treatment for ebola and was tested when

a major epidemic had west africa back in 2013 though it didn't prove very effective against that disease the company says it does affect corona viruses and hence could help covert 19 patients disease experts say repurposed drugs originally developed to fight malaria or hiv also show promise clinical trials with all these compounds are ongoing. south korea's main public broadcaster has made a woman its top news anchor for the 1st time the country has the world's 12th largest economy but it's taken until now for a woman to be promoted to the role in a traditional and conservative society that's making headline news. stepping into the spotlight and pushing through the glass ceiling besides breaking news journalist least so jiang is also breaking boundaries becoming south korea's 1st ever female main news anchor so the country is transformed itself into a modern economic powerhouse culturally it's still often

a man's world. for oh. well you know traditionally the main news anchor would be an older experienced man and beside him there would be a young female announcer who is pretty like a flower over there and so i thought of the notes on the el. bulli is no newcomer to the business the award winning reporter has been with public broadcaster k.b.'s since 2003 but even she thought this top job would be out of reach. without realizing i myself was thinking it would be impossible for that to be a female main anchor at any time before i retired luckily for her if she was wrong now she hopes her trailblazing will make it easier for the women that follow. soon i hope people will no longer be interested in whether the anchor is
