7:00 pm
border with turkey. a huge influx.
7:01 pm
from our studios here and. the border agency has said it is deploying. greece's border with turkey where thousands of refugees have been gathering brussels has also promised to provide athens with a 700000000 euro package to help. well with the crisis the buildup began after
7:02 pm
turkey said on friday that it would no longer prevent asylum seekers from attempting to head to europe and that decision followed a dramatic surge in violence in syria's province athens has reacted angrily to our close move greece is now turning away anyone attempting to enter illegally and has suspended asylum applications a decision that the u.n. refugee agency says lacks any legal basis artie's has more european commission president delaying was in the border towns between greece and turkey she took a military helicopter and was assessing the situation from above in the air now she announced in a press conference that the e.u. would fully support its member state of greece in this time of crisis she talked about the frontex rapid intervention team being brought in this would mean. craft i'm border guards all coming to greece to shore up the efforts here she talked
7:03 pm
about some 7w7cw euros in fact to support greece in this time of tension with its neighbors turkey and she talked about implementing and triggering the civil mechanism protection mechanism now this is a mechanism that's used by the e.u. when one member state is in a time of crisis and it's to improve prevention and preparedness and the response to a disaster by a member state that gives you an inclination as to how serious this issue with turkey is being seen as have a listen to what else had to say frontex is now getting ready to deploy a rep it border intervention team secondly we can provide financial assistance of 700000000 euro to greece those who seek to test europe's unity will be disappointed turkey is not an enemy and. people not just means to
7:04 pm
reach a goal. we would all do well to remember both in the days to come now all this comes after in the last few days turkey's president who once said that chicky would no longer hold the borders under that agreement that was thrashed out by the e.u. in turkey back in 2016 the basic idea of that agreement was the e.u. was declare around 6000000000 euros in aid in chickie which shut the borders from my coming through into the e.u. this was sort of at the height of that migrant crisis that started around 2015 will turkey's open the borders and in the last few days thousands upon thousands of migrants have attempted to come into greece i'm sure to give you a sense when one of the border towns out and just behind me now you might be able to see a police vehicle many of these vehicles around the border towns ready to detain any illegal migrants who attempt to cross the border we know that in the 24 hours up to
7:05 pm
choose the morning around 5000 attempting to do that most return back several would detain and sent to the detention centers or correction facilities now the quick prime minister has also been visiting this region today and he has said that the e.u. and greece in particular will not be blackmailed this is a blatant attempt by turkey to use desperate people to promote his jew political agenda and to divert attention from the horrible situation in syria the 10s of thousands of people who tried to and to greece over the past few days did not come from a blip they have been living safely in turkey for a long period of time most of them speak turkish through and through. and europe will not be blackmailed by turkey over the refugee issue now what's really interesting is some of the people i've spoken to on the ground have said that the michael sort of attempted to come through over the last few days have not been from
7:06 pm
syria they've been countries such as afghanistan dash from pakistan for moon rock go easily and they were at pains to stress that this is not as a result of the turkish military operation in libya in the north of syria something that president a suggestion is now he was speaking in the last 24 hours suggesting that this situation could get so bad that millions could be coming towards the e.u.'s borders little since the moment we open our borders the number of those who are headed to europe has reached hundreds of 1000 now will be more soon this number will be a 1000000 well there is fear amongst many e.u. leaders who see it as using people as political pawns boucher in chips to try and pressure the european union into supporting not military operation in the north of syria so far european allies of nato allies have decided not to do that
7:07 pm
but this people essays what this is all about this is not about turkey not having enough money to look after refugees and migrants in its own country this is about pressuring the european union to step in and take me to turkey in the spine in the north of syria people a few risk but the reality is on the ground there are tensions here and people are afraid that this could be the start of a repeat of 2015 migrate to a crisis more so you should hear everyone is worried well can greece do if greece does whatever it can now it's the europeans who should intervene because this is the border of europe what's happening is not right to end it is not right it's all this is talk of europe should punish him. all of us here are anatomy but we have a strong belief in our soldiers our police and we're very optimistic since the migrants haven't crossed over yet and of course we're positive about the help we're waiting for from the european union. you know to me this. is
7:08 pm
a really close to the border with turkey where the 1st to receive the bulk of the migrants and to greece for the land border i think we're in a tragic situation as neighbors we should have avoided this there should have been another way a diplomatic way and not end up in this situation which is on the brink of creating a war between the 2 countries lawyer and former austrian m.p. johan's huebner believes that the e.u. should take responsibility for the crisis along with turkey. they won't help address the situation they're giving financial aid to greece which is fine because greece is the. refugee crisis but it won't help as long as europe doesn't give in to the a signal that it's not accepting people from all over the world to come to europe because they look for a better life and want to sing the european union doesn't meet so far is that it's to a great degree their fault because they have imposed the most crippling sanctions against
7:09 pm
syria so it's no wonder that a war torn country. and the people don't see any to expect in staying in the country a lot of the current situation will even get worse and so the relation was turkey will get worse there will be public pressure to punish turkey for allowing that though it's not quite fair i must admit as turkey is really bearing the brunt of the crisis though turkey is also liable and those are responsible for what's happening because they are part of the game in syria but they are as well responsible as europe which did a lot to stabilize the regime without having any able to in the tips and which did a lot to keep the economy at its knees and impoverishing to population and studio. the 1st polls have already closed in the u.s. for super tuesday with 14 states and millions of voters choosing their preferred democratic presidential candidate 2 states have given their early projections
7:10 pm
bernie sanders is expected to win his home state of vermont where he is the senator of course and establishment favorite joe biden is being tipped to take virginia he received a major boost going into the latest leg of the race after 2 of his challengers dropped out and gave him their endorsement that has been seen as an attempt to undermine the campaign of front runner bernie sanders. i am ending my campaign and you are saying joe biden i delighted to endorse and support joe biden. the need to unite our party and our country i'm looking for a president who will draw out what is best in each of us and i'm encouraging everybody who is part of my campaign to join me because we have found that leaders in vice president soon to be president. super tuesday is when the largest number of states head to the polls at the same time and more delegates are chosen then on any
7:11 pm
other day around a 3rd are up for grabs in fact those delegates will then go on to make a final pick front and center for the democrats is a battle between former vice president joe biden and progressive senator bernie sanders who is currently out in front with an 8 party delegate lead even he thinks the establishment though is coming after him there is. anybody in this room. establishment is going to go the political establishment is going to go to everybody taking 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 was not the only one. pete is out all of the super tuesday votes will go to sleep each oh pardon great timing this is the real beginning of the dems taking burning out of play no nomination again the democratic leadership
7:12 pm
is fighting hard to stop boni than to stop trump group 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 bernie 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 internal was there actually a conversation listen you're young you've got a lot more support for you in history and history and politics and maybe if you help us out here make sure that our party days are already a long established line that you might have a place in 20 years we won't forget. super tuesday also marks the 1st time the controversial billionaire mike bloomberg will be on the ballot artie's came up and now looks at the choice the democrats are putting before voters and what they all
7:13 pm
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 did chuck from our superstar thursday and i want to thank you all. very well i'm rushing it on now he's known to get a little touchy feely with women he says that's because it was acceptable back in
7:14 pm
his time and it's an old man habit that he just can't break. we're going to try 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 boys 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 series up on the board would list message a master you off the board dropcam up and drag you off when 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 gerald
7:15 pm
a county executive county executive. closer to greste like me right here we were in a situation i had a president ask me the head of the kitchen and she. 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 really hard to be hip with the kids even knows what a name is. with my ice cream i think this. big gay ice cream is the best many suspect he may harbor some racial prejudices.
7:16 pm
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 home would do 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 how many times bernie sanders family has apparently urged him to move into
7:17 pm
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. just look. 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 media analysts that lionel thinks in his own unique way that a party that pitches itself as diverse it has its big 3 hopefuls are anything but.
7:18 pm
when you deal with a party that speaks about their 1st lady and biden married gender did fluidity you and ed demographic heterogeneity year and new when young men. and then you end up with this the older rich guy 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 to. enjoy now we have 2 people so you talk about between a rock and a hard place between this solar and career because the democratic party is
7:19 pm
absolutely petrified. which in gears now as the impassioned climate activism of the swedish teen to turn berg continues to inspire millions of young people around the world there is resistance a term movement and it is growing 1000 year old utah written it has shot to popularity in recent months for her advocacy of what she calls climate realism she has denounced what she says amounts to environmental alarmism and in the process has been dubbed the antigravity over her controversial position dan hawkins earlier spoke to naomi inside that about why she decided to weigh in on the debate and what she is hoping to achieve. most people on the site of climate alarmism if you will label us the climate deniers and that is a term that i really dislike because it sounds like we jones really look into the science we don't do our research we just hate the planet just wanted to strike this
7:20 pm
and we're just selfish and ignorant and that's not what we're about we're about being scientific skeptics and looking into more sensible yet ways to improve the environment to be more enlightened values when it comes to interacting with nature and so yeah that's what climate realism is about it's about scientific skepticism and having more discussions in the scientific spirit it was a german media outlet that started this thing in the 1st place and it was to. portray me as kind of this evil anti-christ on the left on the right and i really just like that but then i thought let's just have fun with it and let's just claim this label and well if the media wants to portray us antigravity then go ahead but you don't state for the anti-gravity you stay for the naomi you come for the anti-graft and you can stay for the night because i am not against i think she is
7:21 pm
probably a super nice individual innocent in all of this and i don't have anything against her it's just that she is not about the science she's basically just about panic and telling people to change their lives and. i demanding that government control the lives of all of the people. and that i believe has nothing to do with science and skepticism anymore and that's really what's so awful about all of this. illustration of the growing concern a new poll in the u.k. has found that almost one in 5 children in the country are having nightmares about climate change out of 2000. youngsters surveyed around 17 percent also said that they have fears of an environmental crisis there are disturbing their sleep are causing them to lose their appetites now me again shared her thoughts on the findings. that's what we call climate alarmism because people like you talk to me
7:22 pm
and i'm sure she's a very nice girl and i don't want to shame her in any way and she's innocent in all of this house else i believe. they are spreading panic amongst so many young people they are tearing apart relationships because people are fighting. about. who is right in all of this who's wrong in all of this and we're not allowed to speak anymore so people are genuinely worried about the planet and they think that their grandparents and parents are destroying this planet and that's so horrible to see because it takes away their hope for the future and so many young people have their own passions and would like to pursue that happens in the future and work what a great job and now all they're concerned about is climate change that was really sad to me to be honest there's clearly an element of panic about about climate change not only among young people among many hurdles as well and or worried about
7:23 pm
what's happening do you think that's really do you think that's on justified everybody seems to believe that just because there's this great consensus out there allegedly 99 percent of scientists agree that climate change is real and climate change is manmade of course can't change it's real climate change has always been real the climate has been changing for millions of years but we need to be more precise in our questions and ask things like. you know missions actually that destructive to the planet are they really. the cause of global warming or are there other factors playing into this like for example that the sun has on the climate and what to feed back and what food. back out whatever. there are so many other factors that are way stronger than just 2 missions so it is ridiculous to believe that humans could have such a big impact on the climate and we cannot mass with nature and that way at least
7:24 pm
that's the competition that i've come to doing my own research people have said that. work is just being used to use use a project of environmental activists or you know as you but as you said left wing is some people have said you yourself for a project of the opposite of environmental conservatives how does that make you feel i really hate that this notion is out there because i know for myself that i do everything on my own i write my own speeches but never ever actually interview i mostly don't know that the people that i work with from the institute for example they don't know when i write my speeches they don't read it before and so it's all just based on my own mind and i'm having fun with all of this i have i started my you tube channel on my own this is basically all just what i'm really passionate about and i don't get tons of money for what i'm doing i live at home my family and i get a lot of support from my mother and my grandmother and that's just fantastic and i
7:25 pm
wish that people would just listen to my main mis message instead of reading what the media has to say about me and my funding and what goes on behind the scenes i'm happy to debate and in one all the time. the case of 3 russian athletes in switzerland could be about to trigger a wave of appeals against adopting allegations their legal team claims that critically important documents contain forged signatures by whistleblower group of the head of moscow's anti-doping lab at the time sports top a court has now demanded the olympics chiefs explain themselves we heard from a lawyer for one of those by athletes. in response to a statement about the forging of mr rajan cough signature we received a document that was submitted by the i.o.c. to see asked it is another statement by mr rajan with his signature according to
7:26 pm
this document he in knowledge is that he did not sign any of the previously submitted documents with his own hand allegedly with his permission he's electronic signature was used however the conclusions of experts suggest that the electronic signature was only used on 2 of 9 documents regarding the remaining 7 documents the experts concluded that the signatures were applied by another person that means they were falsified. the athletes were hit with lifetime bans in 2017 after they were implicated in an alleged state sponsored doping scheme they were stripped of their silver medals that they won of the sochi olympics 3 years earlier the biathletes appeal began on monday and the court of arbitration for sports in response to the claims of their lawyers the court ordered the international olympic committee to explain whose signatures are actually on the documents the court of arbitration for sport panel of arbitrators has accepted the statement about food
7:27 pm
signatures in i.o.c. documents and has ordered the international olympic committee to provide an explanation within $24.00 was the i.o.c. hasn't commented publicly on the allegation that the key signatures were forged the athletes are seeking monetary compensation for the damage to their careers their lawyer says a decision is expected in the next few weeks and that he is optimistic that they will win the case. i want to point out that the question of religion go signatures is not our only argument we always expected that our would be absolved of guilt by cia as on the basis of our the evidence that we have collected however the question regarding signatures arose on the eve of the court hearing we initially got concerned regarding one particular signature after that we conducted a fool examination of all the signatures as well we have claimed there was forgery and expect that this will be taking into account in the future see as decision
7:28 pm
