1:02 am
a mass migrant influx to europe tens of thousands have been trying for days to get across northeast charlotte dubin ski drove along the border to see who is stuck in the impasse. come further down south was still on the greek so i did the border with turkey when town called ferries 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 mayors office and it looks like people are gathering here in the anticipation of going to war to the turkish border and forming some kind of human chain tonight to ensure that there are no illegal crossings for turkey we know that since saturday more than 24000 people have attempted to cross the border but we're hoping to speak to the local mad to find out how he in this town are going to deal with it.
1:03 am
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 here that nervous energy 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 losses pointed to the policies of previous years that allowed these people to enter our country without carrying any permits or documents was in 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
1:04 am
going supported we've left the town to hold now we're driving out towards the front in the hope of getting a sense of what's going to happen on the border overnight to get a sense of what this human chain to protect the greek borders from anybody trying to cross illegally it's going to be a line 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. far out from ferris we spoke the greek on me in what looks like illegal migrants on this side of the road. we've had a chat with the offices they said we can't film but they have confirmed that they
1:05 am
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. looks like a military person out to the border. so just an update on that situation all that's been smooth but we have moved away from the border because we don't want to create more tension with the security personnel that. but it gives you
1:06 am
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 night to secure that border is the fact that we were told not to come anywhere near the border 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 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 protect greece from anybody trying to cross. auti in ferris. the super tuesday results are currently coming in the democratic party's biggest test reveals who voters want their u.s. presidential pick 14 states and all are deciding in the most significant one day
1:07 am
barometer of where things are heading for the candidates well let's try and make sense of it now with correspondent double quarter who's been busy crunching the numbers force how are things palming i see the term 2 horse race being used quite a bit well you know and we're still receiving the results from these 14 states which make up close to half the u.s. population actually and for now the mainstream media polls are projecting that biden is going to win this but by a small margin i might say because bernie sanders still has a good chance of taking the lead again let's not forget that biden wasn't doing so well against him in the initial primaries people seemed to be pretty receptive to his anti-establishment message. when we are not only time corporatists. were taken on the political establishment was. on the other hand joe biden's lead wasn't all that. unexpected especially since
1:08 am
people and amy clover shar actually both dropped out conveniently right before super tuesday happened now we don't know what back door conversations happened between them and the democratic party establishment but surprise surprise they threw their support behind the candidate that the establishment supported. and in my campaign and endorsing joe biden. i'm looking for a president who will draw 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 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 pretty much sidelined in this biden bernie struggle between the 2 let's not try to let's try not to forget michael
1:09 am
bloomberg who actually came late to the race the billionaire new yorker who actually isn't doing so well he's already spent $500000000.00 on his campaign and now he just recently said that he's considering dropping out of the race after super tuesday and in typical donald trump facts fashion we also got his comment on twitter. the biggest loser tonight by far is many mike bloomberg his political 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. and we also still have actually tall sigebert in elizabeth warren in the race but by all metrics they don't have much to gain in this super tuesday election like i said before it's a really close race right now between joe biden and bernie sanders and as the results continue to come in we'll of course keep our viewers. up to date with the
1:10 am
latest brilliant on thanks for indeed keeping us up to spec with all of us the whole quarter all right a common thread through the scrum both so far they get the democratic nomination well it has been for the rivals to take aim at bernie sanders came up and has been breaking down not aspect of the campaign. it's been a long winter for the democrats they've been feeling the cold burn you know we know you believe. in god you know what your driver was in the it would be really. weird no one. 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 for and i think does the problem the game it is pretty much
1:11 am
over reading last night about the fall of france in the summer of 1940 and then general reno closer to churchill and says it's over can either coronavirus or bernie sanders be stopped totally transform society with 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 terrorists socialism is a threat to american freedom see that hammer and sickle and be afraid be very very afraid i believe if castro and the ridge had won the cold war there would be executions and 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
1:12 am
very opposed to be or 3rd gear in the tour of cuba but you know you could it's unfair to simply say everything goes 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 dictators 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 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
1:13 am
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 michio voters 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 his sources are named though these reports that they want bernie sanders to get elected president that's no surprise he had a moment in 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.
1:14 am
. time to unite behind joe candidates are dropping out perhaps a bit prematurely and putting their energy behind joe biden by does come up a little bit and i don't know what's happened barely i think they're trying to take it away from him 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 in 2016 leaked e-mails revealed by wiki leaks show that the d.n.c. went guns blazing to end his bid for the white house now will they be so lucky the 2nd time caleb mopp and archie new york. well i spoke earlier to new york city council hopeful morning who thinks the democratic old guard is doing all that counts real sounders chances. democrats everybody falls in line they line up so perfectly everybody drops out and you know throws their way to support biden
1:15 am
so you know in that in that respect you sort of see how you know the democratic parties are coalescing and micromanaging every way that they can support. 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 say the hell out of our race i get sick and tired and for people to use russian talking points to so division among americans that is stupid so rather go to hell that is completely absurd i mean this is the same donna brazil who would pass questions to hillary clinton so hillary would have you know an unfair advantage in the debates against her instanter so i mean that this is completely absurd and it's actually
1:16 am
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. moving on now as nations scramble to stem the spread of coronavirus on his home the honey jean message here in russia there are so far 6 confirmed cases dozens are in quarantine under observation our senior correspondent out goes d. of hose just completed 2 weeks of self isolation following a trip to hong kong he told us won't be experience was like the other measures russia is taking to keep infections. one of the things you do really. does as a bearded man as you just look silly in the face months but this is my only souvenir from hong kong my trip to hong kong and i was only there for
1:17 am
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 treated like anyone else and our 1st taste of what was to come was still in the play when a lady came aboard and this is while we were still in the plane having landed she took all our measurements are temperatures and she was in full has mackin 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 head to toe 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 1000 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 checkpoints across the russian border
1:18 am
6 new cases of corona virus infections were recorded join 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 police and medics just to check up on you to make sure that you were still at home ventured out of sheer boredom weapon terms of the. 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
1:19 am
happens while 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. 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 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. lenna good evening i have some bad news there really want to save the people i care about i beg you to spread this
1:20 am
information as much as possible if our thore days do not want to inform us about this we'll have to inform each other bald this leaked information that there are 20000 patients with their own a virus and russia was massive don't go to crowded places and take care of each other and stock up on what you know with unfortunately it's sad that shoppers will be average water meter this information is more than reliable a month to 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 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 an outbreak don't go the quarantine isn't worth it.
1:21 am
morocco's the f one the world health organization sais that with more than 90000 people infected we're not in unchartered territory countries are urgently drawing up plans should the situation develop into a pandemic or warning of a shortage of masks on other medical supplies health officials out there w.h.o. are also encouraging the public to avoid excessive personal contact including one shakes and kisses on the cheek it's republished advice illustrating that a foot shake or elbow pump code perhaps replace more traditional greetings. and here are some u.s. senators testing at the elbow alternative to women who had been cleared to leave quarantine while this measure may be effective there are some other suggestions doing the rounds which should be well avoided.
1:22 am
it is understandable that you may feel anxious about the outbreak get the facts from reliable sources to help you crucially determine your risk so that you can take reasonable precautions. well with misinformation generally advice overload and no shortage of a night in the mix either we brought together my. pro biology researcher rachelle
1:23 am
patel technology consultant normally to share their expertise. compared to other respiratory viruses such as influenza this wire is relatively novel immune to us related but coronaviruses sars and murderers. do you. credit limits 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 2 colossus which is a very very low and dangerous virus illness last year there were 1200000 deaths from tuberculosis cheaper close is right for example in the u.k. are going up i don't see anybody wearing masks about you alone since 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
1:24 am
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 and overreaction just look at the stock market 6 trillion dollars lost last year rights of selling of stock market 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 self or intervening. and i realize a lot of people are busy and some people cannot afford to stay home and they're sick. i think some of the choices it's. some of these decisions that we have to
1:25 am
make as a society come down to individual households. on the verge of martial law or being in declared as a way of continuing 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. it is exactly 2 years since former russian agent service cripple and his daughter were poisoned in the inner city of seoul spree the u.k. swiftly blamed on russia what it called an attempted assassination something moscow strenuously denies correspondent looks at hello there are still on the search questions. if freezing of already cool relations a flurry of accusations denials and diplomatic expulsions at times the events triggered by a poisoning in the medieval town of souls bree read more like a cold will thriller than

a real life story 2 years on we are asked how much more do we now know. on the 4th of march 28th retired double agent. and his daughter yulia were found slumped on a bench in a quiet town in southern england a week later than british prime minister theresa may came out with her take on the situation the government has concluded that it is highly likely that russia was responsible for the act against and do the script since then despite the involvement of $250.00 counter-terrorism offices $180.00 military personnel i want to know if you report the highly likely has not been upgraded to we know for sure so why not. it was determined early on that the scripts had been exposed to a highly toxic nerve agent called nova chalk developed in the soviet union in the
1:27 am
1970 s. however neither porton down that's the u.k.'s top secret chemicals lab north europe or c.w. could confirm the origin of the agent used in the schools. we were able to identify it has no video to identify it was a military grade nerve agent we have not verified the precise source but we have provided the scientific information to the government who then used a number of other sources to piece together the conclusions that they have come to the production of chemical weapons in russia is said to have stopped in 1992 moreover not a truck will study in a number of other countries including the czech republic sweden survive and some suspect even the u.k. itself moscow says it's often more of a joint investigation into the if was rejected and it was consistently blocked access to the o.p.c. w. probe how the british army and us who discovered and administered state to the 2
1:28 am
russians while wearing no protective gear suffered no symptoms despite contact with a deadly nerve agent has also triggered some queries. burchill sorry to say both sygate survived the attack and were released from hospital off to treatment since then you know has issued one statement through the british police and appeared in one t.v. interview where she asks for no one to contact her cousin victoria also had a brief phone conversation with her but was left with more questions than answers when it was clear she was speaking in someone else's words it could not be heard on the phone but i heard someone say you can talk to somebody dolled my number because she clearly didn't remember my cell number logically she had to call my home number but for some reason she phoned my cell phone for a tourist subsequently how to how u.k.

1:30 am
a very reckless and clear trail of evidence which almost seems to be designed or at least almost inevitably led to the conclusions that the police and the authorities have come to today so i asked idea how much more do we now know tons out even 2 years on not much key questions remain on aunt man with the script of the party showing no signs of resurfacing it's possible that the mystery of thought mark stay will remain unsolved. well there's a lot for naught but to remember artie's websites has you covered for the main takeaways as well from super tuesday the democrat party's race to nominate a presidential contender to take on donald trump see you here in 30 with more.
