4:02 pm
a crisis at its border with his country this morning greek border police once again use tear gas to repel an attempt by migrants to push through the border from turkey the european union has warned migrants they will not be allowed to enter. the greek army fires mostly cannon along this pos of the turkish border but still the migrants push on trying to find a gap to cross into europe. further along the border greek police bring in reinforcements. more tear gas is fired between police and migrants gathered at this border fence. amid growing tensions turkish police are also seen firing tear gas into greece.
4:03 pm
but even those who make it across often don't get any further but many tell stories of police heavy handedness. when the greek police capture you they tell you to take off all your clothes don't hear underwear and then they order you to go back to the other side they also shoot their shooting continually. these syrian children spent the night sleeping rough with their parents in the turkish town of video. it's very difficult but there is hope god willing there are many problems out there on the border but most of them are caused by non syrians i mean there aren't very many syrians. many of those trying to get into europe have traveled here off to ankara said it would no longer stop them. the e.u. says it's determined to contain what's become
4:04 pm
a chaotic situation. don't go to the border. to bullish not open. if someone tells you that you can go because they will there's open you can go freely to ewood of agrees to cyprus that's not true avoid a situation in which you could be in danger. the migrants came to the border with high hopes encouraged in part by taki now they're facing the reality that the e.u. states will remain closed. and for more now let's go to istanbul where dorian jones is standing by for us door and what are you hearing from the border now. yeah it's been another day of confrontation and violence hundreds possibly even thousands of migrants have been trying to penetrate the greek frontier and being pushed by. the greek security forces using tear gas and bolts of using rubber
4:05 pm
bullets but that doesn't seem to be stopping them the migrants tally 18 using stones firing stones and wood at the greek greek security forces chanting open the border open the border and we have to understand that many of these people migrants are the old and also young families who are increasingly trapped in this incredibly escalating cycle of violence and what choices do the people who have now been stuck between the closed border and turkish forces have in this no man's land i guess. well really they are called to in this increasingly bitter power struggle between turkey and the european union over how to deal with this migrant crisis and their options are extremely limited we've heard reports of 6 turkish security forces have been saying you want to try to cross the border into greece or you will be moved back to istanbul reports those who have managed to cross over the greek border have lost all their possessions including their phone and a little money and they have so they are trapped in legal limbo as well as physical
4:06 pm
limbo so the options of them are very difficult and now we have the reports of the security forces of deployed a 1000 special forces police now these people are trained in anti terror operations now that it's seen as a response to greece's deployment of the army and that further ratchet up tensions and in between of these people of many of these migrants i've been here now over a week little food no sanitation to speak of and little shelter. we understand that turkish president. has ordered his country's coast guard to stop the margarets from making there is a gnc crossing but at the same time we understand the turkish government encourage people to come to the border in the 1st place how do you make sense of all that. well there's no real fission explanation for this change in stance he could be there to encourage calculating that these crossings across the gene sea pose a major humanitarian crisis a disaster could be looming given the fact that the greek coast guard are robustly pushing back the boats you've seen video images of. greek coast guard ships cutting
4:07 pm
across seas very flimsy boats and i think the fear on chris part is that at some point there is going to be a disaster thousands of people possibly could drown children and that could result in even more pushback against also i think possibly could be a small gesture on president urged once part he's going to go to brussels on monday and this could be a gesture to brussels ahead of that visit yeah exactly he's going to brussels what do you figure he's going to ask for any indications of what he might be requesting from european officials. why ankara has deployed this open door policy of its frontier to greece in the european union is to force european union to address our grievances over the migrant crisis it is complained that has largely ignored the growing complaints among crow not enough money now that this will money that is coming from brussels is being frozen now as one will be looking for possibly more funding the reopening of that funding but beyond that
4:08 pm
i think he's looking to syria and this province this is the last rebels it's facing being overrun by damascus forces if that was to occur there will be another one or possibly $2000000.00 migrants erdogan is pushing for the creation of a safe haven with protected by a no fly zone there is growing support in europe over that i think will be pushing for that in his talks on monday. thank you for that. a number of cases from the coronavirus has climbed above 100000 worldwide. in iran the number of infected has risen to more than 5800 with 145 fatalities 2 people have died from the virus in florida bringing the death toll in the united states to 17 the pope will deliver his next 2 public blessings over a video broadcast to prevent crowds from gathering in the vatican and italy's democratic party leader nicholas into ready has tested positive for the corona virus and is in quarantine at his home. meanwhile china has published figures that
4:09 pm
reveal the huge effect of the coronavirus on its trade with the rest of the world chinese exports were down more than 17 percent and imports fell 4 percent during january and february compared with the same period a year ago china has also seen a record decline in manufacturing output resulting from factory closures less than half the plants that closed were back up and running at the start of march food imports to china are also down sharply. and for more now about the financial impact of the coronavirus i'm joined by clifford couldn't from business how damaging is all of this to the chinese economy well it's extremely damaging i think trade is the lifeblood of the chinese economy and as we've seen from these figures it's been very badly has the industrial production has also been very badly damaged by the effect of the coronavirus there have been some efforts to get people back to work
4:10 pm
but clearly they're not happening less than half of the factories are back up and running so for the world's biggest economy which has been a huge driver of global trade in recent years we've become so used to. chinese economy expanding at a massive regime so for these for these reasons alone i think it's very damaging for the for the economy and once the crowbars problem and china disappear is china being often called the world's factory does that mean the world economy is back in business you know in some ways it's a leader because obviously the coronavirus originators in in china and industrial center so we're watching that for indications of how it will go in the rest of the world but now if they do get people back the thing is the factory products are sold in other parts of the world so you're going to see a slowdown probably in the rest of the world too so there's going to be like a double effect almost where it will also affect exports later in the year so it could be some time before the overall effect of the economy is really clear so a big lag time in the global supply chains i guess what are the political. if
4:11 pm
occasions for the chinese government well i think they're there brown's occasions are very strong i think the chinese government has become popular in china because of delivering on growth it's taken a lot of people out of poverty and this message is very much one that the congress party has pushed for so long suddenly something like the coronavirus hits and the economy is in all kinds of trouble there are fears about jobs or factories closing . and suddenly politically it becomes problematic because the congress party is all about stability i asked about the government and thereby the communist party but it is really about president xi jinping isn't it he's the man in charge absolutely i mean he's in there now he's he's got. he's the strong man he's got the strong man image at the beginning we saw he was pretty low profile on this but suddenly we're seeing pictures of memory where he's really taking. to be perceived as
4:12 pm
a role of bruce being perceived as the man who's trying to deal with the with the problems so it is very much a question of his destiny being tied to how they deal with the grows worse for him absolutely although how they how they would actually eventually stop it stop him because he has limitless power basically is another question of course ok clinton from the business thanks for that. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world. a hotel used for quarantining core coronavirus patients in the chinese city of trying. already said that emergency services are attempting to rescue about 70 people who are trapped inside the building not give a reason for the collapse. 3 members of the saudi royal family have been arrested for allegedly plotting to oust king solomon and his designated heir one of the one of the former crown prince mohammed bin nayef another is one of the king's brothers all have been reportedly accused of treason. president trump has named republican
