border restrictions which have been preventing migrant influx to europe tens of thousands i've been trying for days to get across our t. shirt of dubin ski drove along the border to see the desperation of those stuck in the impasse. come further down south was still on the greek so i did the border with turkey where no town 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 we're hoping to speak to the local mag to find out how she in this town are going to deal with it.
2:03 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. 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 for you because the policies of previous years that these people to enter our country without carrying any permanent documents was 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 being
2:04 am
supported we've left the town the whole 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 grave. 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. right now you just official 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 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
2:05 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 are from afghanistan to receive an update from the volunteers who are not securing the greek food and the affair is a video showing my quince camped out on the border. as we were trying to film. we were stopped this my cameraman being scooped it up by well looks like a military personnel to watch 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 are there but it gives you
2:06 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 way to secure their borders the fact that we were told not to come anywhere near the pool. 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 8 legally a night is exactly what we seeing in towns like this that ability for people to take up their own and to go to the ball which is to push text greece for anybody trying to cross even ski auti in ferris. the super choose the results are currently coming in the democratic party's biggest test reveals who voters want their u.s. presidential pick 14 states inal are deciding in the most significant one day
2:07 am
barometer of where things are heading for the candidates or our correspondent daniel quarter has been following developments from the wee hours here in moscow at all how are things palming who's who's looking the most likely to succeed here well you know we're still waiting for the final results of this vote for major states like california for example but we actually just got word that joe biden was declared the victor in texas and the delegates in texas yeah absolutely in california as well where joe biden does have the lead but nothing has been confirmed yet and as of now the mainstream media is actually predicting a victory for joe biden and while this victory margin started small it's starting to look like bernie sanders doesn't have as much of a chance as he did of taking the lead but this wasn't always the case in the initial primaries actually where biden was having a tough time a lot of people seemed very receptive to bernie's anti-establishment message. why
2:08 am
we are not only time corporatists. who have taken on the political establishment was. on the other hand biden suddenly also wasn't that surprising especially since p. . and amy clovers shar actually both dropped out conveniently right before super tuesday now we don't know what kind of back door conversations they might have had with the democratic party leadership but surprise surprise they both threw their support right behind that candidate would be seen as more mainstream more allied to biden than they would to. yeah absolutely because the democratic national stablish man seems to have some you know the in opposition to bernie sanders as opposed to shar and. and so let's see them throw their support behind joe biden and my campaign and you are saying
2:09 am
that i am. i'm looking for. each of us and i'm encouraging everybody who is part of like you to join me because we have found leaders vice president soon to be president. march 3rd 2020. i will be casting my ballot for joe biden. now at this point other candidates in the race have pretty much been sidelined by this struggle between joe biden and bernie sanders i mean there's also michael bloomberg he's still in the race the billionaire new yorker who spent hundreds of millions of dollars on his campaign and he hasn't been doing very well to be honest he decided to come in late bill is his thing was that i'm going to sit i think only stages and come in and get some of the votes and he's not doing well yeah absolutely he's not doing very well the only place where he had significant support
2:10 am
was some and he's actually now declared that he's considering dropping out of the primaries and we also actually heard from donald trump who commented on that 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 there's also tulsi gabbert and elizabeth warren of course they're technically still in the race but by all metrics they don't really have much to gain from these super tuesday elections so like i said before it's really a close race between biden and bernie at this point and we'll bring our viewers the latest as the final results of this election come out looking like a 2 horse race at this time but still plenty of cutting to go artie's double quarter thank you. well a common thread through all the scramble so far to get the democratic nomination
2:11 am
is for the rivals to take aim at bernie sanders caught up in spain breaking tanada specked off the campaign. it's been a long winter for the democrats they've been feeling the cold burn you know we. believe. in god you know here you're right in the lobby. 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 of it is pretty much over reading last night about the fall of france in the summer of 1940 and then general reno cause of churchill and says it's over can either coronavirus or bernie
2:12 am
sanders be stopped totally transform society firing squads dungeons torture and exile so he's been pretty clear that's what he supports morning 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 some to pardon 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. or appear in the tour of cuba but you know it's unfair to simply say everything goes but you know when fidel castro came into
2:13 am
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 who are 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 somebody who has a tendency to divide their own side is beyond me furthermore sanders is accused of
2:14 am
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 your 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 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. dropping out perhaps a bit prematurely and putting their energy behind joe biden does come up
2:15 am
a little bit and i don't know what's happened with bernie i think good 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 and 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 mop and r.t. new york spoke earlier to new york city council hopeful morning who thinks the democratic party's national committee is doing all they count to to real chances. democrats everybody falls in line they line up so perfectly everybody drops. and you know throws their way to support by so you know that in that respect you sort of see how you know the democratic party is her coalescing and micro-managing
2:16 am
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 wouldn't 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 the questions to hillary clinton so hillary would have you know an unfair advantage in the debates against foreign 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
2:17 am
that they're really working against you know bernie sanders who really is essentially you know a real contender and possibly the front runner. in living the program as nations scramble to stem the spread of coronavirus and his home hygiene message here in russia there are so far 6 confirmed cases dozens are in core and under observation or senior correspondent morocco's the of host just completed 2 weeks of self isolation of home following a trip to hong kong he told us what the experience was like and about the other measures russia is taking to keep infections apace. one of the things you could do you realize as a bearded man is you just look silly in the face mask but this is my only 7 year 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
2:18 am
anyone else and our 1st taste of what was the cup 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 mackie and 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 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
2:19 am
the subsequent spread of the infection. when they 1st mentioned quarantine i thought would 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 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 while that starts a fire potentially community service if you leave the house or apartment the quarantine zone and you unfed someone adds up to a year in jail
2:20 am
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 is identified a message being repeated online that is spreading misinformation and there are people out there that are you know enjoying this. 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 thora days do not want to inform us about this will have to inform each other about this leaked information there are 20000
2:21 am
patients with corona virus in moscow walk with masks don't go to crowded places take care of each other and stock up on food unfortunately it's sad that shops will be empty this information is more than reliable. the end of the day it's just common sense don't follow advice that you read on the internet and read it for example followed by is 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. it is exactly 2 years since former russian agent circa script and his daughter were poisoned in the inner city of salt spray the u.k.
2:22 am
swiftly blamed on russia what it called an attempted assassination something moscow strenuously denies correspondent suskind taylor looks now at why there are still all altered 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 great read more like a cold war thriller than a real life story 2 years on we are asking how much more do we now know. on the 4th of march 28th. 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 to. do the. since then despite the involvement of
2:23 am
250 counter-terrorism officers 180 military personnel and to report the highly likely has not been upgraded to we know for sure so why not. it was determined early on that the scruples had been exposed to a highly toxic nerve agent called novacek developed in the soviet union in the 1970 s. however neither porton down that's the u.k.'s top secret chemicals up north the a.p. c.w. could confirm the origin of the agent used in the schools. we were able to identify it is novacek 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
2:24 am
moreover not to talk or 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 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
2:25 am
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 saying you can talk somebody dolled my number for her 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. visa applications repeatedly rejected well you know how it's been seen since her recovery her fault was not and despite multiple attempts of russian diplomats have been tonight access to the us citizens but it's cripples have since disappeared without a trace. struggling to identify those behind the attack the investor website betting apparently came up trumps they located 2 russian nationals insoles bray that fateful day who they claimed as of the g o
2:26 am
u that's russia's military intelligence service the 2 appeared in public on t. in fact until night any involvement would have looked at to go to i would have walked into the room oh. yeah the fact that they didn't both the to hide themselves while strolling along soulsby streets also triggered some queries. they had absolutely left for seems to be 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 how much more do we now know tonnes out even 2 years on not much key questions remain on oncet man with this cripples a party showing no signs of resurfacing it's possible that the mystery of thought mob stay will remain unsolved. ok just before we go to break some news to
2:27 am
bring you remember us talking about donald trump meeting with a speaker over the phone excuse me with the leader of the taliban on choose the u.s. president said they had had a good conversation the news coming just hours after the trumpet call it's been a nonstop officials that the taliban has attacked 20 army officials in. afghanistan killing those 20 people so that is the latest line coming in on this this of course comes after a much vaulted peace deal between the taliban and the officials in afghanistan which the afghan president said was not going to hold so that the latest line coming in a number of deaths by the taliban on the afghan army just hours after donald trump had heralded good conversation with the taliban and more all not story developing of course throughout the day here on our international we'll bring it to you
2:28 am
watching the hawks start here in moments there close. no one else seemed wrong. why don't we all just don't. let me. get to shape out just to become active. and engaged equals betrayal. when something you find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground . with feeding our hopes our dreams and desires our money to compete this creates a what do we get back to no like that's that's a bad deal so when this technology jumping out of this week when is that going to
2:29 am
be healthy need to keep you healthy for it or to keep the you know you connected and i missed it so we will live in an area of the post screen area where we will live with less and all these screens and it will be more in harmony or will help us make. greetings and sell you take. this week millions of us democrats and even some independents from california to texas and beyond are hitting the ballot boxes while donald trump and healthcare have dominated much of the democratic primary talking points it's climate change and the failing state of our environment that many believe was the most pressing pressing issue of our day mainly because the very future of life on earth as we know it is what's at stake when it comes to climate
2:30 am
change but with the majority of republicans and even president donald trump himself taking the earth is flat style approach writing off the science behind climate change is nothing more than a conspiracy theory and a hoax the responsibility for combating climate changed. all squarely. under the democrats' shoulders and this my friends is where the green new deal comes in inspired by u.s. president franklin delano roosevelt sweeping social safety nets and massive infrastructure jobs programs implemented back in the 1930 s. and forty's the green new deal is what many democrats are banking on to save the day and keep their party relevant but what exactly is it popular science reports that the deal 'd em's to slash greenhouse gas emissions by switching to 100 percent renewable energy by 2030 while providing a safety net for displaced workers increasing the official.
