very good this is arty international. starts with news of the latest escalation of confrontation between russian backed syrian forces and turkish troops in syria it's the presidents of russia and turkey had a phone call in which they agreed to a high level meeting to intensify talks on the situation earlier russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov spoke out in support of the syrian army's right to respond to ceasefire violations and call for cooperation between all sides within the agreed framework. we reaffirm our commitment to agreements reached by the presidents of russia and turkey a suggestion is that everyone should already start fulfilling their was a the syrian army have every right to respond to regular violations of cease fire from inside the observer on to neutralize terrorists we cannot restrict the syrian army from fulfilling requirements written in the universe aleutian in fighting
7:02 am
terrorism. the syrian army has been engaged in a very violent fight to defeat the last militant stronghold in syria and the property in the province according to moscow the turkish troops that were killed on thursday were among terrorist fighters involved in a large scale offensive against the syrian army but the russians say they weren't even informed of the presence of turkish troops until they were hit by that airstrike on february 27th near the settlement of b. whom turkish soldiers who were embedded with terrorists came on to the syrian army fired at the same time according to the coordinates transmitted by the turkish side to russia there were no turkish troops or units in the area and the russian reconciliation center says that they immediately rushed to the aid of the injured turkish troops after discovering what had happened it's certainly strange they weren't informed in the 1st place since the center maintains regular contact with ankara and the russians say that the data turkey provided suggested that there were
7:03 am
no turkish troops there although ankara recently denied this and said that they did inform russia of their troop locations and also called for a consultation with its nato allies following the attack leading to an emergency meeting of the military alliance and there's even been speculation that article 5 could be a vote now what that means is article 5 would potentially draw turkey turkey's allies into a war against syria and russia but again as of now that is that's just speculation but we also heard from the country's minister of affairs and he said that syria will be held accountable for what happened to her he is determined to continue to it fulfills its objectives in accordance with its legal rights the murderous regime and those who encouraged it will account for their betrayal in the most severe way now a lot of this chaos stems from disagreements over a cease fire that came into effect earlier this year on the one hand turkey accuses
7:04 am
syria of violating that cease fire. with this offensive against the militant stronghold in ad lib and on the other hand syria and russia accuse turkey of not holding up its end of the bargain apparently ankara was supposed to remove terrorist groups from the region while negotiating with the more moderate groups but making a firm dividing line between the 2. possibilities between groups there but the efforts that it's made to that effect have been quite ineffective and more talks are scheduled in march actually between iran and turkey and russia on the issue so we'll have to see if that yields any results of that can solve the crisis currently going on in this syrian province meanwhile nato is holding a special meeting in brussels on the situation at the request of turkey and secretary general in still saying the alliance stands in solidarity with ankara allies are constantly looking into what more they can do to provide further support
7:05 am
for turkey nato allies are engaged in trying to move forward the efforts of the u.n. led efforts to find a peaceful solution we call on turkey we call on. russia to fully engage in such a un lead for the peaceful solution we spoke to attorney in middle east experts could a sham knew about the significance of this latest escalation. we have a few weeks ago we have 6 turkish army is there now we have iran for 33 and turkish retaliated today and for started some bombing in a northern syria so it might get dangerous and turkey is trying to get to bring the nato countries to support them day one of action the article 5 of these nato. agreement in order to for the nato countries to support them if there is any war against russia but i doubt there is going to be any doubt but for now the things are really that dangerous of course russia than the said that they informed that
7:06 am
turkey government in order to know where their troops are and now that there are some people dead the russians say that of course turkey never gunna say yes they inform russian not to or bombard the not to attack this this part so we never not once a going to say one thing the other said gonna see they are different and they are going to stick to it and we never going to get to get to know the truth. you are us military conflict continues large groups of refugees continue to make their way through europe these pictures from our video of broccoli show people in turkey some carrying children reportedly making their way to the border with greece and turkey threatening to open the border if more of their troops are killed in syria. do refugees in turkey could potentially contribution to an already tense migrant situation in greece people on a number of the country's islands are holding protests against their government's latest plans to create new refugee camps there to stay there and of those boss was
7:07 am
paralyzed by a general strike people joined the march chanting slogans against the current situation existing camp on this bus currently holding around 20000 migrants although it was only designed for 3000 earlier in the week several rallies against the building of more migrant camps turned violent governments and extra police mover made islanders more angry. most of the fighting. seniors' nothing is over with struggling to prevent the construction of any closed or open prison last night was a big win for the people of lesbos who repelled the landing of the government's repression forces on the island of lesbos terrorizing us want to work they said and tried to police to repress tearing struggle we continue we want no closed open hotspot to anywhere the government managed to unite all the people of blessedness against its policy which would great a large warehouse of refuge in migrant prison this we demand that no new camp is
7:08 am
constructed on the islands the immediate removal of the existing camps the closure of the morea camp the save guarding the borders and the regulation of n.g.o.s our lives have been destroyed. and once a violence erupted as protesters rallied near a military camp. by trying to attack police officers with stones and flat as the media reports say on the same day around 60 people were injured mostly police the greek government says that there is only one solution. but there is no alternative to the government's plans to build a closed structures to accommodate refugees and migrants. not a smartass thinks that athens needs to redouble its efforts to deal with the migrant templates. the majority of. migrants in lives were not asylum seekers they are. economic immigrants what we
7:09 am
in ireland say is that the government should save guard the borders and also the government has. to go or north with the examination of the asylum applications and also the government has to start the issues with a new decision from the european court of human rights and it says that any person that enter illegally in the area of sigint then the government has the right to deport them immediately so i think the government has to be more active on the issue of the importations. us democratic party leaders are being urged to group around one candidate to prevent bernie sanders from getting the 2020 nomination my party leaders seem unable to unite around a single think it's a set big donors know how to pull the strings as artists ask taylor reports. they

say money can't buy you friends or happiness but might be true but they could just buy you the white house mega dona bernard schwartz has been digging deep in his pockets to help the democrat course but it's not entirely a no strings attached situation we should know who is the best person to be dull trump and with all due respect bernie sanders. so which horses shorts betting on well he's not fussy but either of his friends from the billionaires club will do who just like him aren't shy on splashing the cash and since we're already here together let's look at just how much cash with king take joe biden now he's discovered that he can't just rely on his instagram a bromance with obama to take him all the way so decided instead to drop a 6 figure sum on just one ads for good measure though he did keep in some a bow minister. this is an extraordinary man with an extraordinary career in public
7:11 am
service you've got to admire him though if i were trailing 12 percent behind the top counted and had my own backers jumping ship i'd be a bit tighter on the past strings by the way biden still pales in comparison to what his buddy bloomberg has spent so far it's estimated the x. new york mayor has dropped a casual 400000000 on his campaign but hey it's only no point 6 percent of his $64000000000.00 fortune so no biggie also at least he's having some fun with it not even the aspiring u.s. president is above a cheeky trolling campaign and it seems to be paying off because he's risen from the very bottom of the polls to somewhere near the top of course let's not forget he is an old hand when it comes to knowing just what money can get you all of the new democrats that came in put nancy pelosi in charge and gave the congress the ability to control this president i got them hoops well let's look for. field now
7:12 am
at some of the candidates like people too much credit to sense the people might not be found of this whole exclusive club of the rich so decided to play the role of the average joe just the man on the street and i'm the only candidate on those debates stages in this race the major candidates who's not a millionaire or a billionaire what's this a penniless candidate and big money politics what if you believe bunny not quite we're going to contrast our views with mayo to judge 40 billionaires who are contributing to his campaign the heads of the c.e.o.'s of the large pharmaceutical industries the insurance companies and so forth well since bonnie is made to the parents let's peek inside his coffin he might go about divvying up the cash once he gets his hands on those government funds but until then it seems he's more about treating himself he has dipped into his funds and brought out around $14000000.00
7:13 am
for just a few t.v. ads so it seems that no matter what side of the political spectrum you're on you know that to win in this game you need a lot of the green stuff to help you along the way money is always played a big part in american elections especially since 2010 with the us supreme court ruled in a case called citizens united that you could spend as much money as you wanted on candidates because corporations spending money on politics is free speech spending money is free speech corporations are people that's what this supreme court decided that's a travesty and that's really undermined american democracy even more and made it more a money game then ever before that's a big problem in the us money yes and the role of money is growing even more but i don't think it's at a point where a movement like senators could still prevail. france
7:14 am
has been embraced by comments made by the us or of mali the comments were critical of french anti terrorist squads in the west african country has more. tensions have risen diplomatically between mali in france following those comments by the mall in pasadena to france in which he criticized and denotes the actions of french soldiers on the ground in his country. elements there are not desirable some elements of the army because we see it all we see to use all over and we don't know what they are doing on the streets of but marco at night and it's not good for the image of france. all those remarks have provoked anger here in france while in a bus that was hauled in front of the foreign affairs with the street to explain those actions meanwhile the french armed forces with this stuff a large party didn't know most of this being false and also i think sceptical this
7:15 am
was a statement from her ministry rather than channeling and spreading false accusations we expect the ambassador of mali to devote all his energy to implementing the post summit and achieving success for everyone it comes just after france held 'd a big summit just a few weeks ago in the south of france to discuss the future of the sawhill region and operation volcano this is france's and largest overseas operation with all the $5000.00 troops stationed across 5 countries in the sawhill region including mali now president merkel also said at that summit that french soldiers were paying for the conflict in blood and let's have a look at some of the recent attacks in the sawhill region.
7:16 am
it comes amidst all the tensions that just protests on the ground against french troops and being stationed to volley protesters saying they're not welcomed but also saying that false is still treating the country as if it's a colonial entity and it comes of it's the fact that the moment president himself is that meeting that his government has open to all sorts to harvest in a way to find a solution to the conflict now we know that mali is sending its foreign affairs minister here to paris to try and smooth things over but the reality is this latest diplomatic an incident is going to raise more questions about the why of french
7:17 am
soldiers in the ground possibly offering up their lives to fight for a war that's not their own. so it's become a hollywood director that pulls product placement policy the possibly spoiling future if you don't believe i'll be back with thing to us in a few months. seems wrong. just don't call. me. to shape out just to become educated and in gains from it equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
7:18 am
7:19 am
a very strict policy when it comes to showing the products on the silver screen. goes into more detail in the latest episode of in case you missed it. found guys can i phone for example here's a picture of jamie lee curtis in the movie. and she's holding an i phone and that means that she is a goody so the evil one is never going to want not holding the microphone because i'm very protective of its image according to the director of the knives out probably really revealing that in an interview i don't know if i should say this and i probably shouldn't but this is very pivotal if you're ever watching a mystery movie bad guys cannot i phone camera in fact back when by 3 of the 24 was a big deal in the early north seas some very geeky yet as you. pointed out the fact that all the bad guys were on p.c.'s all the good guys used apple macs
7:20 am
why say let's turn that very on its head here's my iphone it is good here is me and i will be back in the all fair. with my iphone yes barry yeah barry yeah. yeah but are you. making cost base. so i inara mr teddy bad. apple i'll be waiting for your call. germany's top cool's is upheld the judge is trying to lose wearing headscarves. that the government violated neutrality want to speak to other possible. germany's constitutional court
7:21 am
has decided that when it comes to wearing islamic head scarfs court rooms are a special case a blanket ban on religious symbols similar to what they have in france isn't favored in germany but when it comes to wearing islamic headscarf in court that's a different matter the court has rejected the constitutional complete against the ban on wearing a headscarf for certain official activities all those obligation constitute an interference with the completeness freedom of belief and other fundamental rates this is justified the case was brought by a german moroccan legal trainee you argue that the state of pace's rules that she couldn't wear red scarf while carrying out certain official duties was unconstitutional the ruling by the constitutional court has raised a few eyebrows on social media with people asking the question why a crucifix is allowed in a court room but a headscarf is not. on the one hand the state may prohibit women lawyers in
7:22 am
training from wearing the headscarf in court in order to maintain ideological and really just neutrality on the other hand germany a courtroom must be relieved neutral hands the head scarf ban also germany. headscarf ban because the court should be neutral at the same time crucifix on the wall because it is known not to be a religious symbol has scarf bans target the group that is most discriminated against in germany in making the ruling the constitutional court pointed out that head scarves can be worn in the cold building they're only prohibited when carrying out public duties in the court itself i spoke to people on the streets of delhi and us that they made this decision ok. i think it's absolutely landslide believe in a free country and everyone here has the right to freedom of expression and freedom of religion. there's an interest in this in our no no i think that it's wrong
7:23 am
because it concerns religion if you lead an obliges him to hurry it then you have to do it no matter where you go that's why i don't think it's right that it's forbidden is it that. we are old people they have their own culture and we have our culture and those people have to adapt to where they are i have nothing against it those people who come to germany they have to adapt but i have nothing against the headscarf. germany 16 states have differing rules when it comes to religious symbols in this case the cole ruled that the trainee lawyer couldn't wear a headscarf as it went against the neutrality that a court room must show however it has led to questions over there being one rule for christians and another for muslims this is not a job this is something we need to do so this is something that's belong to the law and the constitution and they need to have it is in the constitution and it should
7:24 am
be neutral although all we know about you out of here in a country was it christiane even may know it has to be undertaken and they need to respect that and the main of the people a lot of people in this go to they don't want to see a lot of muslims on it that only jews. who are doing this simple produce to do presenting the constitution in the court this isn't something we are told not to get aboard the constitution or the country and the megace you're going to need people will be called to present the law with our which only religion is to be mixing it's not. us president on the trumps middle east peace plan talented in the major is the deal of the century is proving to be not quite all that 50 formally there's a ministers from across europe of issued a joint letter in which they express grave concerns what is middle east correspondent paul asli has the details $54.00 major european foreign ministers and leaders have expressed outrage over this so-called deal of the century they say
7:25 am
that it is a kin to apartheid and of urge for action to oppose it to prosperity is not a road map to a viable 2 state solution nor to any other legitimate solution to the conflict the plan and visitors the formalization of the current reality in the occupied palestinian territory in which 2 people fall even side by side without equal rights such an outcome has characteristics similar to apartheid a term we don't use lightly now the peace plan includes jerusalem as israel's undivided capital palestine is to be demilitarized and its capital is to be in the outskirts of jerusalem palestine is also to comprise of the west bank and the gaza strip and these 2 areas will be connected through roads and tunnels and $50000000000.00 of investment is to be made to palestine both the american president donald trump and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu have welcomed the deal my vision presents a win win opportunity for both. a realistic 2 state solution that resolves the
7:26 am
risks of palestinian statehood to israel's security it's a great plan for israel. it's a great plan for peace now the palestinian president mahmoud abbas was quick to slam the deal on the same day. that it was announced he said that you were is not for sale dear friends we heard a little while ago from president trump and prime minister netanyahu talking about with a cool the deal of the century which we described as the slap of the century we will say a 1000 times no to this proposal so you now have a situation where 50 is european leaders as well as the official european union russia turkey or 22 countries of the arab league are against this deal now the palestinians have been given for years to come to agree with it but it certainly seems in the long run that this is going to prove to be a fruitless effort for washington. state without international objects coming your

of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you there. self-proclaimed democrat a socialist bernie sanders is leading the pack of contenders buying for the nomination to take gun trump but will the democratic party rally behind someone who embraces the word socialist and what impact will that have in a general election frank luntz one of the most influential pollsters in this country tells what he's learned from talking with focus groups across the nation all on this edition of follow. the politicking on larry king he's one of america's most influential post.
