12:02 am
millions of euro in aid to oftens praising it for being europe's shield the visit comes a few days after turkey lifted border restrictions which have been preventing a mass migrant influx to europe tens of thousands have been trying for days to get across r.t. charlotte drove along the border to see the desperation of those stuck in the impasse. come further down south we still on the greek so i did the border with turkey where newtown called fairies and i just want you to get a sense of the action that's happening all around us we're just outside the town hall the local mayor's office and it looks like people are gathering here in the anticipation of going to wards the turkish border and forming some kind of human chain tonight to ensure that there are no illegal crossings from turkey we know that since saturday more than 24000 people have attempted to cross the border but
12:03 am
we're hoping to speak to the local mad to find out how he in his town are going to deal with it. so we didn't get to speak to them he wasn't hit tonight but we did get to speak to many of the people who were taking part in that they sachin and they all seemed to be pretty tense knew the mood was full of tension in fact one guy said to me you can feel it. everybody is here tonight because we want to help greece protect its borders from any kind of illegal migration we see people from bangladesh afghanistan anywhere from places that have nothing to do with war and they come to our country essentially the e.u. we think europe should change its stance and contribute to send a strong message to turkey the largest political policies of previous years that these people to enter our country without carrying any permanent documents would
12:04 am
have a very big mistake and created issues of inequality greece is not alone it is european country but europe should support it because until now greece is not going supported we've left the town to hold now we're driving out towards the front here in the hope of getting a sense of what's going to happen along the border overnight to get a sense of what this human chain to protect the grain. borders from anybody trying to cross illegally it's going to be blind so we're just coming up to a checkpoint. where they're stopping us. yes. we have to turn around ok so we're being told we have to turn around we can't go any further. not far out from faris we spoke the greek on me in what looks like illegal migrants
12:05 am
on the side of the road. we've had a chat with the offices they said we can't film but they have confirmed that they found the 2 illegal immigrants trying to cross the where we are in the script land behind and they told us that 2 individuals from afghanistan to receive an update from the volunteers who are not securing the greek food and the affair is a video showing the migrants camped out on the border. as we were trying to film. we were stopped this my cameraman being scooped it up by well like a military personnel to watch the border. so you just an update on that situation all that's been smooth but we have moved away
12:06 am
from the border because we don't want to create more tension with the security personnel that are there but it gives you a sense of how much tension there is here given the fact that the volunteers are out willing to be in the middle of nowhere in the way to secure their borders the fact that we were told not to come anywhere near the. now the greek prime minister said this week that his country wouldn't be blackmailed by said that they would do everything possible to stop an invasion of migrants crossing the border illegally and not is exactly what we seeing in towns like this that ability for people to take up their own noms and to go to the ball which is to push text grease for anybody trying to cross even ski auti in ferris. the super tuesday results are currently coming in the democratic party's biggest
12:07 am
test reveals who voters want their u.s. presidential pick 14 states are deciding in the most significant one day barometer of where things are heading for the count it well joining me in the studio correspondent double quarter who's been busy crunching the numbers for us and it has been a busy day on turning into a busy night how are things in the public eye for the count is any surprise what's the story of the night well you know results are still being collected from these 14 states that make up actually close to half the u.s. population and for now polls are predicting that biden is going to win but he's only winning by a small margin it seems that bernie could still actually have a good chance of taking the lead again let's not forget biden wasn't doing so well in the initial primaries against bernie and people seem to be pretty receptive to bernie sanders anti establishment platform. when we are not
12:08 am
only time for corporatists. we're taking on the political establishment. but bernie send but biden's sudden lead actually wasn't exactly that unexpected because pete booted huge and amy clover shahr both dropped out conveniently right before super tuesday they were seen as more men. joe biden also right exactly they were the more safe for conventional candidates for the d.n.c. and we don't know what back door conversations happened you know between the leadership of the party and these candidates but surprise surprise they all decided to throw in their support for biden right after their resignations i am ending my campaign and endorsing joe klein am i really 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 leader
12:09 am
in vice president soon to be president. march 3rd. 2020. i will be casting my ballot for joe biden. now at this point other candidates have been been pretty much sidelined by this bernie. you know duo struggle and let but let's not try to let's try not to forget michael bloomberg you know he's the billionaire new yorker who joined the the campaign who declared his campaign for the primaries pretty late in the race and spent a lot of money spent a lot of money definitely and now he's saying that he's considering dropping out right after super tuesday as a result of you know more results and everything but in typical donald trump fashion he decided to tweet his $0.02 on michael bloomberg as it was take a look. the biggest loser tonight by far is many mike bloomberg his political
12:10 am
consultants took him for right $700000000.00 washed down the drain and he gets nothing for it but the nickname mini mike and the complete destruction of his reputation way to go mike. so like i said as of now you know biden and bernie aren't the only candidates but it is looking like it's going to between be between those 2 in the end so we'll bring our viewers the latest updates for super tuesday as they become available it's a little bit accounting to do our teeth double quarter bring us right up to date. well a common thread throughout the scramble so far to get the democratic nomination is for the rivals to take game out bernie sanders has been looking at that aspect of the campaign. it's been a long winter for the democrats they've been feeling the cold burn oh you know we know you believe. it
12:11 am
was you know here you're right in the her body. was in the but now as the spring rolls in the party has descended into panic i think it's a little late to stop and i think that's the problem the game it is pretty much over reading last night about the fall of france in the summer of 1940 and the general run no closer to churchill and says it's over can either coronavirus or bernie sanders be stopped totally transform society firing squads dungeons torture and exile so he's been pretty clear that's what he supports money standards but stopping the burning machine is not an easy task after all most rank and file democrats more or less agree with his policies so here's how the operation has moved forward. the reds are coming trigger those cold war
12:12 am
terrorists socialism is a threat to american freedom see that hammer and sickle and be afraid be very very afraid i believe that castro and the reds had won the cold war there were no executions in central park and i might have been one of the ones getting executed and certain other people would be there cheering let's not forget that bernie sanders once praised cuba's achievements in terms of literacy and health care were very opposed to be authoritarian they tour of cuba but you know you could it's unfair to simply say everything is but you know when fidel castro came into office you know what he did he had a massive literacy program it's not a bad thing after 4 years of looking on in horror as trump cozied up to dictator. we need a president who will be extremely clear in standing against regimes that violate human rights abroad we can't risk nominating someone who doesn't recognize this fidel castro and if
12:13 am
a dog can see it forced labor camps religious repression widespread poverty firing squads and the murder of thousands of his own people. let's talk about his literacy program but most millenniums don't even remember the cold war communism doesn't really scare them and socialism certainly doesn't so time for plan b. . now bernie sanders is accused of splitting an already weak and fractured democratic party why we would risk this extraordinary opportunity by nominating somebody who has a tendency to divide their own side is beyond me furthermore sanders is accused of having views that just won't fly in a general election the face of the democratic policy might be sponsoring things that's absolutely nothing but c.e.o. votes but this narrative doesn't seem to work either. so now bernie sanders is accused of being a russian plot to undermine american democracy this claim is repeated by other presidential candidates as well as robert o'brien the national security advisor and
12:14 am
his sources are named though these reports that they want bernie sanders to get elected president that's no surprise he had a moment to moscow and it turns out that in fact bernie sanders once even visited russia you know years ago back when it was called the soviet union yeah that's pretty old news scraping the barrel let's go on to plan d. . time to unite behind joe candidates are dropping out perhaps a bit prematurely and putting their energy behind joe biden by just come up a little bit and i don't know what's happened early i think they're trying to take it away from i don't know if that's fair but i guess it's politics when you get right down to it what's fair. why throw in the towel so early well they've got to do everything in their power to defeat bernie sanders and 2016 leaked e-mails revealed by wiki leaks show that the d.n.c.
12:15 am
went in guns blazing to end his bid for the white house now will they be so lucky the 2nd time caleb mop and are to new york. let's cross stateside non-live to morning how awesome or nate is running to be a new york city district called slurs good to have you on the program just after midnight isn't it where you are in the cone thing still very much all in what is your big take away so far morning from super tuesday i mean what's interesting is that you know when i watching the coverage on b.c. . it's almost like joe biden has already won it's like everybody can go to sleep now he's already won just or not. so what i take away is again you know sanders is you know pretty much you know a real contender possibly even the front runner and you still see the corporate media you still see the d.n.c. everybody is still working against him and it just almost. bernie sanders claims
12:16 am
indeed that the democratic party establishment has been working to block him from getting the nomination is that what was at play when. i dropped out just days ago. the interesting thing is that is that the democrats everybody falls in line they line up so perfectly everybody drops out and you know throws their weight to support biden so you know in that in that respect you sort of see how you know the democratic party is her coalescing and micromanaging every way that they can support biden. and you know i see it you know bernie sanders he said the system was rigged you can see how it's being rigged against him. former democratic chair donna brazil got into a heated exchange after a suggestion that the democratic convention would be rigged against sunders we can listen together to just what was said sure. say the hell out of our race i
12:17 am
get a 2nd. and for people to use russian talking points is so division among americans that is stupid so rather go to hell good all of the one of the point do you think. the suggestion to the rigging came as a russia talking point i mean that is completely absurd i mean this is the same donna brazil who would pass the questions to hillary clinton so hillary would have you know an unfair advantage in the debates against her and santer so i mean that this is completely absurd and it's actually really really infuriating because what it is is you know it's really the democratic party trying to cover their tracks and really not so well in the fact that they're really working against you know bernie sanders who really essentially you know a real contender and possibly the front runner just looking at some of the brick
12:18 am
done from not of course the kind of thing as we're seeing still very much ongoing right bernie sanders winning big among young voters latino voters but african-american seem to come much more for joe biden the effect bernie sanders chances at this point i mean i mean i've heard that also but at the same time in nevada you know he was 2nd among african-american voters among among asians among arabs it's interesting i think that's kind of the general narrative but i think as as you know as things play out we'll see a more nuance kind of understanding but definitely the millennial and vote and young people i think it's key to a sanders victory and it's key for a democratic victory so i think we really really need the young people to come. but i think it'll be interesting and i just feel like this corporate mainstream
12:19 am
narrative that biden is the front runner i think. we might be pleasantly surprised expression with with california with all those delegates in california so it'll be interesting to see. you know i'm cause i'm cautiously optimistic so california is a big prize all right what of course you've got a certain person waiting in the wings then to who has golf the best chance of taking on donald trump i mean i've always said this i've always said bernie sanders has the best chance because like trump he's an outsider he's popular trump is not a populist but he had that same sort of like. anti-establishment outsider status but also a lot of the trumps the voters also like bernie sanders because he also support he supported free trade. he seemed like he was more of a populist. candidate that had policies that were truly for the people
12:20 am
so you know it'll be interesting to see but i really think bernie is really the real choice against trump and i think he's great on the debate stage and i think he really has the policies that working people and ordinary people desperately like universal health care free college tuition he's really advocating for real transformative change. and i hope i hope he gets it all right the thoughts all of the morning how awesome morning is a new york city council come deadline on the program funky morning ok thank you. moving the program on as nations scramble to stem the spread of corona virus and hit home the hygiene message here in russia there are so far 6 confirmed cases dozens are in quarantine under observation now our senior correspondent the it has just completed 2 weeks of self isolation at home following
12:21 am
a trip to hong kong he told us what the experience was like care about the other measures russia is taking to keep infections at bay. one of the things you could do you realize as a bearded man is you just look silly in the face months but this is my only should be near from hong kong my trip to hong kong and i was only there for a few days while i was there there were hardly any infections or in the weeks since but coming back to moscow the medics here really didn't care so you're treated like anyone else and our 1st taste of what was to come was still in the plane when a lady came aboard and this is while we were still in the plane having landed she took all our measurements our temperatures and she was in full hazmat given so we walked past passport control into the baggage area and that is where the real party started i mean there were dozens and dozens of medics in full hazmat get covered
12:22 am
head to taking down everything about us what we did who we were with where we were this is all part of a huge russian effort to make sure that the 19 virus didn't gain a foothold here the monitoring of the epidemiological situation was organized from the initial days of this complex situation additional measures were taken to strengthen sanitary in quarantine control at check points across the russian border 6 new cases of corona virus infections were recorded during the monitoring period in all cases a full range of necessary and see epidemic measures was organized which prevented the subsequent spread of the infection. when they 1st mentioned quarantine i thought it be like a mini vacation you get to sit at home and as it turns out it isn't at all so he had calls throughout the day starting in the morning for medics asking how you're feeling whether any symptoms cough or whatever you also had visited by
12:23 am
police and medics just to check up on you to make sure that you were still at home even eventually out of sheer boredom weapon terms of the quarantine agreement that i signed at the airport and the penalties are pretty severe so for example if if you leave the house to go to the shop which you can then you just leave and nothing nothing happens well that starts a fire and potentially community service if you leave the house or apartment the quarantine zone and you infect someone adds up to a year in jail a year in jail if you infect someone and they go on to die that is up to 5 years in prison which is a pretty severe punishment on. a lot of fear i would say panic would around the world and in russia as well which is which isn't being helped by the fact that there's a lot of misinformation misleading information on the internet for example
12:24 am
one russian cyber security company for example was identified a message being repeated online that is spreading misinformation and there are people out there that are you know enjoying this. elana good evening i have some bad news there really want to save the people i care about i beg you to spread this information as much as possible if our thore days do not want to inform us about this we'll have to inform each other while this leaked information that there are 20000 patients in their own a virus in moscow russia was massive and don't go to crowded places and take care of each other and stock up on what is needed with fortunately it's sad that shoppers will be average water meter this information is more than reliable a month could devote. the end of the day it's just common sense. to advise that you read on the internet and read it for example followed
12:25 am
vies that you hear from doctors wash your hands regularly don't touch your face as a bit of personal advice that i can give you if you've got a trip lined up in the immediate future to a place where there's been that break don't go the quarantine isn't worth it. testimony from. another world health organization with more than 90000 people infected we are now in charge territory countries urgently drawing up plans showed this situation develop into a pandemic or warning of a shortage of other medical supplies health officials at the w.h.o. also encouraging the public to avoid excessive public contact including hunt shakes and kisses on the cheek it's republished advice illustrating a shake or elbow pump could perhaps replace more traditional greetings.
12:26 am
but here are some u.s. senators testing at the elbow alternative to women who have been cleared to leave quarantine while this measure may be effective there are some other suggestions doing the roys which should be well avoided. this is understandable anxious about the outbreak get the facts from reliable. determine your risk so that you can take.
12:27 am
more with. misinformation and generally advice overload no shortage of anxiety in the mix either we brought together microbiology research or rachelle to tell technology consultant norman to share their expertise. compared to other respiratory viruses such as influenza this is relatively novel in new to us related coronaviruses sars and murders. prevalence i think many countries have been caught off guard i don't think this was an expected thing that a lot of people were predicting i think you need balance if you take something like
12:28 am
2 colossus which is a very very low and dangerous virus illness and last year there were $1200000.00 deaths from tuberculosis cheaper close is right for example in the u.k. are going up i don't see anybody wearing masks about utilises i don't see trains being stopped eventually cities being locked down in the world that we live in right now especially with their travel patterns that most people follow it becomes extremely difficult to contain. such a virus especially one that transmitted respiratory really i think a lot of ordinary people are concerned about this and should be concerned i mean it is a very real and disease but it's not and it's not on the scale of some of the things that already exist i think the overreaction to this and if you want to see an overreaction just look at the stock markets 6 trillion dollars lost last year
12:29 am
rights of selling of stock markets at the level of the great depression almost a century ago and the real impact of that is going to be far greater than anything this virus is going to do if your state stared home or intervening. and i realize a lot of people are busy and. some people cannot afford to stay home and they're sick but i think some of the choices that some of these decisions that we have to make as a society come down to individual households with. on the verge of martial law being in declared as a way of containing this is if 500000 people are going to die from this in the u.k. in the next couple of months this is not based on anything. a hard hitting watch next about a largely unspoken up by topic in the u.s. military in a visible war begins in moments i'll see you soon.
