a few areas stand off for the greek border with turkey which is allowing access for thousands of refugees greeks accused of exploiting desperate people to fuel its political ends. with our correspondents. to endorse and support joe biden president 2 democratic candidates drop out of the u.s. presidential race ahead of super tuesday putting their money on establishment favorite joe biden seen as a push to the front runner bernie sanders. key evidence is questioning the russian athletes the sports court demands olympic bosses explain apparently fake signatures

in flight. from moscow what's your team the national walk ins welcome to the program. now used border agency is on high alert as over $130000.00 asylum seekers have made their way into greece from turkey it all stems from an intensification of fighting in syria similar problems which led to claim it can no longer accommodate the refugees and so open its borders with the e.u. we've got a. shot at do in the north east corner of greece charlotte what's the assessment. is europe on the brink of another modern crisis here for many of us this would be of course. 201516. well that is certainly one of the sea isn't that is why greece determined to

protect its borders and it's requested assistance from the e.u. that assistance is on the way in fact the european commission president. area of the border town of cast in the s where i'm in late on tuesday in a bid to show that support of the e.u. for greece's tikki has opened its borders now it's call me here where we are on the border crossing turkey is about 500 meters away but we understand that there are thousands of people just across the border who are hoping to get across into the european union that we know that the authorities here have told us that in the 24 hours up to 6 am this morning more than 5000 people attempted to illegally cross the border they say the majority of those were from afghanistan from pakistan from morocco and bangladesh they say that there were some 45 arrests with individuals

either being sent to detention facilities or correctional facilities now greece is bolstering its borders is being described by some as being a human chain of offices to try and stop those from not trying to cross just here at these official border crossings but elsewhere in essentially no man's land now president of turkey has warned that this could just be the start and that millions could come. lot since the moment we open our borders the number of those who are headed to europe has reached hundreds of thousands that will be more soon this number will be a 1000000. well european leaders off furious about what they see as turkey using individuals migrants as political pawns and what essentially some are saying is its attempt to pressure the e.u. into supporting its military operations in the north of syria in a province this is what some of the e.u.'s leaders have had to say about these

recent tensions. i find it an acceptable president one and his government are not negotiating their discontent with the situation with us the european union but instead taking in. refugees this is not the right way in my opinion. also with regards to turkey we see the burden that turkey is bearing by comma dating almost 4000000 refugees but we must not only fulfill the obligations from the relevant agreement but you must also remind the turkish side that it is also fulfilling its obligations now and right now. well even on monday there were 2 reported deaths amongst the migrants trying to illegally enter onto greek territory one on the land border where greek authorities are accused of firing rubber bullets and injuring my going to later died that has been denied by the authorities in greece we also understand that a child drowned in attempting to reach one of the greek islands from the turkish

mainland so the tensions here have been much taken up in the last few days we have seen tear gas and water cannons used in an attempt to try and stop the migrants from attempting to cross the border they themselves are using sticks and stones in an attempt to fight back against the authorities but the tensions are certainly high the security force here are on high alert to try and stop any more of those illegal crossings some have said like the austrian chancellor sebastian kurtz that the 13000 people who are apparently just across the border waiting to cross is just the tip of the iceberg greece's prime minister is also due to visit these border areas on tuesday has said greece will not be blackmailed into anything by turkey and he said that this they will do everything they can just stop this invasion and just stop of course anything like 2015 when we saw that migrant crisis ingolf in

europe something that is really hit hard and torn apart many european countries they faulted for that in. yes from happening again. it looks like very chaotic scenes and probably a politically behind the scenes as well. thanks for that update at the greece turkey border. the 2 democratic candidates have abruptly dropped out of the u.s. presidential nomination race ahead of so-called super tuesday it's the party's biggest voting day and now. they make little shara throwing their weight behind the establishment favorite. and ending my campaign and you are saying. i think to endorse joe biden. to unite our party and. i'm looking for. what is asked in

each of us and i'm encouraging everybody who is part of my cue to join me because we have found that leaders vice president soon to be president joe. super tuesday is when the largest number of states head to the polls at the same time 14 to be exact more delegates and chosen than on any other day around a 3rd are up for grabs those delegates will then go on to make the final pick a front and center for the democrats is a battle between former vice president joe biden and progressive senator bernie sanders who's currently out in front with an 8 party delegate lead even he thinks the establishment coming after him there is. anybody in this room or the corporate establishment is going to go for the political establishment it's going to go to everybody talking to twitter donald trump accuse the democratic party of attempting to stop their front runner from getting nominated again the president was referring to the nomination saga in 2016 which he says was skewed in favor of hillary clinton and he seems not to be the

only one. pete is out all of the super tuesday votes will go to sleep by didn't great timing this is the real beginning of the dems taking burning out of play no nomination again the democratic leadership is fighting hard to stop bunny than to stop trump. just dropped out of the presidential race. this is all about stopping the democratic party's moderate or shall we say establishment wing coalesces around biden to stop any it's starting to look a lot like 2016 when the same wing rallied around clinton it is to the republicans advantage to see a brokered convention a chaotic democratic race here on out so you have to wonder since saturday night and looking at the thing is internals was there actually a conversation and said listen you're young you've got a lot more forward for you in history in history in politics maybe if you help us

out here make sure that our party stays our party along establishment lines you might have a place with 20 years of the won't forget you have to just think of the time how all of this is happening going into tomorrow with the biggest complaint right now about joe biden if he does not have as many delegates as bernie sanders does or has the popular vote behind him tomorrow is very key to getting joe biden's numbers out to at least keeping that equal race between the 2 super tuesday was among the 1st on the controversial bill. will be on the ballot. so the choice the democrats are putting before voters and what they all have in common as we enter the thick of the race for the democratic presidential nomination 3 major contenders stand out now of course the candidates are emphasizing what is different about them however they do have some things in common all 3 are white all 3 are male and all 3 are in their late seventy's meet the grandad's who are contending for the democratic nomination . joe biden is 77 years old and he's the youngest to

many he reminds them of an easygoing grandpa with a bad habit of forgetting people's names please come back in less than 13 years or . our chad thank you very much all right it's christian but anyway i just heard chris i don't know i just said shock now he's known to get a little touchy feely with women he says that's because it was acceptable back in his time and it's an old man habit that he just can't break. we're going to quote from you remember that awkward feeling you had when your grandfather was telling anecdotes about his rough and tough younger days well of joe biden becomes president you might as well get used to it and corn pop was a bad dude and he ran a bunch of bad boards and i did you know and back your nose day job things have

changed one of the things you had to use if you used pot made your hair you had to wear a bathing cap and stories up on the board would list message a master you off the board rock about the drag you off where you came off and he said i'll meet you outside now sometimes the stories just get so weird to wonder if he's maintaining his sanity i'm going to notice to do surely receive medical school if you're rich there's generally county executive county executive. closer to graft slightly right here we were in a situation i had a president ask me to head up the kids from. now hoping to take out joe biden is former n.y.c. mayor mike bloomberg now michael bloomberg like many grandparents is known for his generosity. $21.00 of those were people that i spent $100000000.00 to help elect

all of the new democrats that came in and put nancy pelosi in charge and gave the congress the ability to control this president i bought i got them he works with my screen i think the. big gay ice cream is the best but many suspect he may harbor some racial prejudices. erd earth. is one. and then there's bernie sanders the elderly socialist originally from brooklyn he's the kind of grandpa that everyone seems to be scared of can either coronavirus or bernie sanders be stopped they are bernie bolsheviks they are bernie brownshirts that's what they are and their revolution will result in death and misery another

homewood to more or another whole accost or whatever we call the next great socialist atrocity totally transform society with firing squads dungeons torture and exile so he's been pretty clear that's what he supports many standards what i've now many times bernie sanders family has apparently urged him to move into a retirement home but he decided to run for president instead one thing about bernie though is that despite his age it's the young voters who love him the most. not just the campaign we already both generate should know both the ridge show grass roots good now sanders critics love to point out that despite the fact that he rants and raves against billionaires he's certainly no poor man himself sure laugh all you want but it's very possible that one of these 3 elderly white men could be the next president of the united states yes if donald trump fails to be

reelected it's all but certain he'll be replaced by someone with white hair white skin and a deep voice and while that does not fit the liberal democratic party message about inclusion it also follows a longstanding u.s. tradition of media i missed a lot of things that for paul 2 the. big 3 hopefuls are anything but. when you deal with a party that speaks about deferred study and not by an airy gendered fluidity and demographic heterogeneity the new when young men. and then you end up with this the older rich guy they don't care about diversity they don't care anything they want to win everything about this election it has been the source of great comedic relief for me that being said i want everyone to appreciate what we have right

now because we have one of the most seismic collapses of the democratic party is about to. enjoy now we have 2 people so you talk about between a rock and a hard place between this soul and correctness the democratic party is absolutely petrified. some of the central evidence in the doping claims against 3 russian athletes is hanging by a thread it's claimed pivotal documents contain forged signatures of the whistleblower at the very heart of the allegations the sports arbitration court is now demanding a limpid chiefs explain themselves and fast the sports correspondent is across this for us. what exactly does this mean if this these accusations of prove to be true what about mean for the future of the russian athletes well if we talk about these particular 3 athletes and in this case this is all because of

a young. who won silver in sochi olympics in 2014 in a marathon and also won a silver in a sprint in their case of you know these allegations prove to be true well they could be reinstated their medals could be given back to them and for them it would be a personal moral victory because they have all retired at this point from professional sport like to remind to our viewers that they were disqualified by the international and become a $12017.00 on the allegations of doping which were part of the famous or rather infamous mcclaren report you know accusing russia of a state run program and things like that so they 'd were part of the whole story back then in 2017 they filed an appeal against the decision rather 2018 very early and for 2 years it's been going on particular because the court of arbitration for sport were engaged in many other cases and now the court of arbitration for sport finally got down to. reviewing the case and the lawyer of these 3 biathletes

dropped an absolute bombshell suggesting that the evidence the testimony of. the whistleblower from the russian doping anti-doping laboratory had forged signatures and that has been confirmed by a group of experts i believe we can listen to that. both images with signatures are alienable this means they can be copied and then extracted from the files while a person can definitely write exactly the same signature scan signatures will always be a bit different if the images containing signatures are perfectly matched it is most likely that one and the same image has merely been inserted into different documents or copied from one file into another. now the lawyer of the 3 biathletes has been banging the drum of fortifications and false words against his clients for many years now but he lashed out with a lot of criticism towards the international olympic committee during the court session let's listen to that the responsibility and incompetence of the i.o.c.

have led to athletes wasting plenty of their time and money in the system created by i.o.c. officials and convenient only for them athletes have almost 0 chance to prove themselves not guilty we demand the c.e.o.'s set a new precedent and we want fact compensation for damage to their finances and reputations such a serious organization does not have the right to deliver accusations in such an unprofessional way but in this particular case it's not just about these athletes fighting for justice with the i.o.c. they're also suing rochon got himself for $10000000.00 each for defamation and it's a separate case but it's also part of this big story and i was there when this scale initially broke some time ago i was sort of reaction what's the response been to this new evidence which could potentially you know turn things upside down well both the world 'd anti-doping agency and the international olympic committee have been silent so far but there is a reason for that because the court of arbitration sports actually told them to act

and to get their act together and we have a statement from cass right here. the court of arbitration for sport panel of arbitrators has accepted the statement about food signatures in i.o.c. documents and has ordered the international olympic committee to provide an explanation within $24.00. to 24 hours expired tonight we'll see what the i.o.c. says but i'd just like to remind that it is not the only case involving russians in the cas under review right now there's also a major case where the world anti-doping agency banned russia from holding and participating in all sports competitions for the next 4 years that is a big is going on there and just imagine for one second if this particular case they find and they prove that russian girls testimonies were falsified essentially with the false signatures this could you know have very large reverberations for the other big case but obviously we'll have to wait and see what the reaction from the i.o.c. comes tonight day for the russians for sure get updates from you in the studio thanks for that up though. well over to israel our turnout in the latest election

is thought to have been the highest in more than 2 decades that's despite voters are going to head to the polls for the president of the 3rd time in less than a year it seems embattled prime minister benjamin netanyahu has a narrow lead with his party taking 29.3 percent of the votes 90 percent would counted that's despite the fraud charges you face that of palestinian police too. let's look at where the leading lives at a live event artie's paula paula thanks for joining us by this ability or who does look like he is on course to keep his job but what does this mean for israel. well a lot of questions still being asked as you correctly say more than 90 percent of votes have been counted in the scenario as it stands seems prime minister benjamin netanyahu is likud party in 1st position it's sitting there by about 3 parliamentary seats ahead of its main rival the blue and white party it about former army chief benny gantz. although that is good news to be could it still has

a situation that they're not guaranteed a majority in the government they need $61.00 seats and they currently hovering at around $59.00 now they have been concerns as to whether or not the outstanding 10 percent of those who are significantly changed this so now it seems unlikely the votes that still need to be countered include those of soldiers include those of israeli diplomats of broad and of more than 4000 israelis who are currently quarantined with a coronavirus now we are hearing reports of nobody wants to actually count those votes and that is the delay in the process but on the whole we don't expect the scenario to significantly change the country's president hoover and webvan has expressed disillusionment and frustration at the fact that you have essentially have a situation that in the last 11 months they have been 3 israeli elections all of them seemingly deadlocked. or it was always a day we consider to be a celebration of israeli democracy. and i must say that today i feel most sense of

celebration only a sense of hard shame for you this is the reason we don't deserve another horrible election campaign that deteriorates into such filth like the one that ends today. now that sense of frustration is something that has been echoed on the streets of israel what is interesting is that while many people offer straighted are disillusioned this has been an election that has seen the highest voter turnout in the past 21 years take a listen to what people told us. she hurts me a lot to see that we've got into this situation because it cost so much money this is a country that's trying to keep its head above the water in the current global economic environment that is a mix of i think the situation is a disgrace i think have an election is for the 3rd time says a lot about our politicians we are in the situation where no one is willing to compromise we are forced to go to the polls again and again i believe we are heading for

a force election so it's not about on the one hand the situation is not the best but on the other we're trying to remain optimistic i would personally like to see a unity government i want to see cooperation between the parties because at the moment according to the polls there are no other options. now there were protests held against netanyahu before these elections what is unclear at this stage because of course it's uncharted territory is that if he is tasked with forming a new government can he lead can he actually do that and that is something the supreme court on need to decide upon now tony i think has been playing hardball he has praised the deal of the century despite the fact that it was severely criticized by both israel's arab community and the palestinians and we just add that the israeli arabs had a very strong showing in the polls and at the same time the time yahoo has said that he will and looks jewish settlements in the west bank and a large part of the west bank known as the jordan valley so that's the situation as it stands of course we'll continue to bring you the results but as i say we don't expect them to significantly change and it does seem at this stage all the legal

questions of course being touted that netanyahu will be the one who will be asked to form the next government here in israel i believe. in tel aviv thanks so much for that update. afghan police say at least 3 people have been killed and 11 others wounded in an explosion near a football ground in the eastern province of cost no one has claimed responsibility for the attack just a day earlier the taliban said it would relaunch operations against the kabul government after president garvey refused to commit in terms of a peace deal between the us that is the best group the reduction in violence has ended now and operations will continue as normal as part of the us taliban agreement or mujahideen will not attack foreign forces but the operations will continue against the kabul administration forces i would caution everybody to think that there is going to be an absolute sation of violence in afghanistan that is

probably not going to have it's very not going to go to 0 pulling out of afghanistan it is still very much all trumps goal to that despite monday setbacks we're getting out we want to get out we had good meetings with the taliban and. we're going to be leaving and we're going to be bringing our soldiers back on we've been there for almost 20 years too long time we've done a great job in terms of getting rid of terrorists now it's up to other countries to get rid of those terrorists or the war in afghanistan hasn't been a real struggle for the us it's also for its allies on the ground as well britain's prime minister for veterans has exploited a mental health program to help former soldiers it recently emerged that there had been a surge in suicides among the grouping since the beginning of this year i want to understand exactly what stage we could or should have intervened in that process it's unimaginable it's a tragedy for the institution the army that i'm so proud of where we are use open

and ears open all 14 veterans have taken their own lives in the past 2 months alone most particularly army unit involved in britain's mission in afghanistan between 20022014. to find out what might have loads so many in such a short period of time to take such a desperate step we spoke to iraq war veteran martin webster the numbers the suicide from my from my own regiment we've lost nearly

a full patrol that's like 15 soldiers from my regiment the 1st tired light infantry have taken your own lives i can give you a quote from dr kent drescher said during the vietnam war the american soldiers were only ever allowed to do 2 years operational service to the country says we now have u.s. veterans $8.00 to $10.00 talls of africa and iraq that's like an experiment this is what he said that's like an experiment that's never happened in human history the rates of p.t.s.d. about time in 2001 present that i'm president of we are now starting to see the effects of the iraq and afghanistan war such as captains taking their own lives people with really good pensions with no reason whatsoever on paper saw it for the rest of their life in a sense of having a good pension taking their own lives coming up next the what's more spring is the latest on the u.s. taliban peace deal and more well back in 30 minutes time with the latest headlines

we'll see about that. 6 times or financial survival. when customers go by and you reduce the price. then else will reduce a lower. that's undercutting not what's good for food markets it's not good for the global economy. to. go. to the boss to. help. ok. oh please. please yes this is how the boot. loader the folks.

who say. oh. ok. oh. please. greetings and sal you take should see after this weekend i'm afraid i just have to say it my friends politics and professional wrestling i was sensually become pretty much the same thing you got your faces and you've got your heels you've got your factions you even have your managers in ring ballets and just like professional wrestling most of the carrot. as you see on t.v.

are being manipulated and created by the one percent who owns the business all in an effort to get you to par ways with your money and your free time modern politics today even runs the same storylines as professional wrestling take the recent headline making peace agreement signed over the weekend between the united states and the taliban that turned out to be pure w w e u s your faces in the form of mike palm pale in the trumpet ministration and then you had your heels in the form of the taliban just like every contract siting on a w w w e violence erupted before the ink even had time to dry political reports that just hours after united states signed what was billed as a historic deal with the taliban to end the 19 year long war in afghanistan fighting had resumed between the taliban.
